Pros

- Many coworkers are wonderful, intelligent, hardworking people. - Pay and benefits are good relative to other similar publishers. - You have the chance to work on a variety of things and build a variety of skills because there's plenty of work to go around. - You could have the opportunity to solidify your knowledge by training your future replacement who will work for the company's 'preferred vendor' in Colombia. - You'll learn to recognize when a worker is being set up to fail or queued for termination. - You could become the next favorite. - You won't be troubled with office announcements about coworkers being fired, I mean, pursuing opportunities elsewhere, or leaving the company or any other such negativity because VHL is a positive place to work. - You're more likely to have your position eliminated than be outright fired. - The newest iteration of HR also appears to be making efforts to address the office morale (which is so abysmal you could go spelunking in it (don't worry, spelunking is good. It's a perk, like office ping-pong or something)) after receiving comments related to, among other things, the latest wave of badly explained or (more often) unexplained firings, and after constantly needing to explain away glass door each time its asked about in interviews (a tedious task). I believe their efforts have gotten as far as recruiting middle management to contribute some less negative reviews. While that is further than previous iteration's efforts have gone to address the challenges of a growing business, knowing upper management, that's likely as far as their efforts can go.

Pros

Energetic environment. Employees really care about what they do and why they are doing it. Employees do many different tasks so it's a great place to start out and gain lots of experience.

Cons

Management is not in touch with employees and the day to day needs of the company. Employees are not treated with equality. Personal integrations play a large part in how you well or not well you do at this company. Experience is not always a good trait as they sometimes want to mold employees in their own way and not build on experience.
