Pros

Unlimited PTO, mostly remote work

Cons

Pay is not very competitive, almost all development work is outsourced, CTO hires friends in senior roles and that is the clique. In the group? no problem. Out of the group? Then you know nothing and are worthless. Software development processes are tedious and not productive to building great things, but if you like checking a lot of boxes on a lot of forms with a lot of approvals you will like it. I work with the developers daily and most of the day is about looking good in my upcoming meeting by completing a certain number of tickets big or small, or asking the lead dev to help out because the team can't get it done.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for your long tenure with Vector Solutions. We’re glad to hear that you appreciate the flexibility of remote work and unlimited PTO, which are part of our commitment to supporting work-life balance. That said, the concerns you’ve raised around culture, fairness in leadership, and development practices are important, and we take them seriously. At Vector, our values—especially Inclusiveness, Teamwork, and Curiosity—call us to create an environment where every team member feels respected, heard, and empowered to grow. We recognize that how work gets done—from software development processes to collaboration norms—has a major impact on employee experience and innovation. We’re actively working to improve cross-functional engagement and process efficiency while encouraging feedback through regular engagement and pulse surveys. That input helps us identify and address areas where our culture and systems may not be serving our people as they should. Thank you again for the work you do and for sharing your perspective. We remain committed to building a more connected and empowering environment for every team member.

Pros

It's a job and some of the people are great, remote/hybrid work for some employees

Cons

There is literally zero incentive to work hard or even try above the bare minimum. No real career paths or progression, no bonuses, nothing. Individual goals mean nothing and do not connect to larger company goals. Leadership is feckless and has to revisit the same decision constantly or has to make a decision involving way more people than necessary which means the final decision is bloated and difficult to operationalize. The company goals are not clear at all so work priorities constantly shift to whatever leadership has most recently decided, through a committee, is most important. There is basically nothing in terms of company culture. People don't talk to each other about anything. There is no fun in Teams channels. This probably stems from all of the above, that people do not feel at all connected to the company because they know they are not going to get anything out of it. Oh, and the benefits are abysmal.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re sorry this has been your experience, and we take comments like this seriously. Vector is a mission-driven company serving customers in critical industries, including public safety, education, industrial, government, healthcare, and other organizations that rely on our technology to help make people safer, smarter, and better prepared. We are proud of that work and of the team members who support it every day. Vector has implemented many positive changes over the years based directly on team member feedback, and we continue to welcome input across all areas of the business. We recognize that benefits, career growth, priorities, and culture can be experienced differently by different people. We do offer a comprehensive benefits program that includes health coverage, 401k support, flexible paid time off, wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and other resources; Growth Pathways to help team members understand career progression; and companywide initiatives such as Team Member Appreciation Week, Vector Volunteer Week, holiday events, and special commemorations to help build connection and culture. We also understand the concern around shifting priorities. Like many companies, Vector operates in an ever-changing economic landscape. As market needs evolve, we have to evaluate and adjust priorities to keep the business growing, serve our customers well, and support the team members who drive our success. We will not dismiss feedback simply because it is difficult to read. We have meaningful work, a strong team, and a lot to be proud of, but we also have work to do. We appreciate your perspective and will continue working to make Vector a better place to build a career.
