Pros

Remote, with very flexible work schedules. Solid pay and usually interesting projects. The coworkers are generally great and very technically minded, and excited to share their knowledge. Getting bigger and making a larger impact in the consulting space.

Cons

Lack of clear career trajectories leading to turnover and developer discomfort. Executives much more interested in outside hires from competing consulting firms than internal promotion. Indecisive leadership leads to wasted time, money, and developer effort. A good portion of the friendly, popular employees were pushed out for vague reasons and made to seem like they voluntarily departed.

We're glad to hear you had a positive experience with your colleagues and the work you did for VGV! We are truly proud of the talented and kind people who make VGV what it is. We also appreciate your candid feedback on areas where you believe we can do better. We are actively working on laying out a clearer career ladder because we know it’s important to our employees. As a consultancy, employees have the opportunity to work on challenging and diverse work which will lead to faster learning and advancement. We want to make sure that the way we evaluate that learning is clear and tangible. We also know that VGV has been growing quickly, both in headcount and new service offerings, and that not everyone has felt aligned on our direction. We will continue to work on reinforcing VGV’s larger visions and goals and transparently communicate how we are performing against those goals. We value feedback like yours, and we’re continually striving to improve. Thank you for sharing your perspective — it helps us grow.
