Vault Reviews

Pros

Great co-workers, decent benefits, pretty regular schedule for a publishing/internet company

Cons

The company is struggling to survive right now, but that is pretty typical during the recession. Not as many opportunites to advance as I would have liked.

Advice to Senior Management

Employees are worried abut the company's future.

Pros

Some very nice people there.

Cons

Um, salary cuts and 7 or 8 rounds of layoffs? blatant cronyism? no HR department?

Advice to Senior Management

VC firm that bought company installed a CEO that did not have the talent to see the company through an economic downturn. He was very good at hiring his buddies though.

Pros

Vault.com is a great brand. It has a huge potential and it operates in a market which is virtually recession free. It has a very niche market to itself and virtually no competitor which places it in a very enviable position.
There was a great amount of sharing of ideas between us.

Cons

The management I believe is not very sure about how it will make the best use of the market where Vault is in. It is confused on where it sees Vault in a long term. Is it into media space, education space, career or both.

Advice to Senior Management

COncentrate more on the education part as it is going to really improve the company valuations that going for the sponsorship model only.

Pros

company positioned for growth - great training ground

Cons

recent layoff means bigger workload for survivors

Advice to Senior Management

be open and visible
