Vonage – “"Vonage" was a dream...”
Pros
In the technology areas, you tend to be exposed to a great deal of challenge that you would not have the opportunity to experience elsewhere in such compressed timeliness. Technically, you can learn a lot very quickly. Professionally, the longer you stay the more debilitated you will become.
The secret to Vonage is to not plan on staying - get in -get some great experience - and get out - 12 to 18 mos.
Cons
The company is largely run like a mafia-style family - in virtually every sense of the word. Watch the Soprano's - its extremely similar on many levels.
Advice to Senior Management
None.
