Vantaggi

The CEO Dan Pittman is one of the greatest guys you'll ever meet. The benefits are above average for most positions. Lots of opportunities for free food while at work. Nice buildings. I've heard that working anywhere other than in support is pretty nice.

Svantaggi

Support is a mess. Employees are in and out all the time. Firings are a regular occurrence and often times without warning. If you work in support as a Level 1-3 technician for more than 2 years, start looking for alternative employment as management will start looking for reasons to get rid of you to save a buck. Work in support is generally tedious and frustrating. Call queues are generally backed up which makes downtime an incredibly rare occurrence. Support doesn't have enough staff to handle the queues and won't because they keep getting rid of support techs. A few support techs make it out of support and in other parts of the company. Don't bet on it though because it's rare. Overall support is a good place to work for about a year, but get out of there after that.

While there are always opportunities to improve a workplace, without direct feedback it is very difficult to know what is causing some of the issues being brought up here. I wish we had an opportunity to talk during your tenure with us to better understand these frustrations. While we are aware that call queue's have been high, we are continually looking for ways to improve performance and increase the number of trained staff in order to accommodate the business. Very few employees in support were actually terminated last year, and in fact we had a 21% internal promotion rate (most of that coming from the technical support area), which is higher than the typical benchmark in our industry. The TSR's are one of the most valued resources that we have here at DRB, however as is the case with all roles within the organization, performance is typically the driving factor behind changes that do occur. I am terribly sorry that your experience with us was not a positive one. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and hope that you find the right fit with your next organization. If you care to elaborate on any of this information, especially in regards to your experience with the HR team, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. Thank you and best of luck.

Vantaggi

Work life balance, parental leave, Vontier’s insurance is the best

Svantaggi

Terrible management from the very top all the way down, constant layoffs, really bad pay (20% under what anyone else will pay you), they also launch products that should have never left the beta testing period before they were ready - Patheon and Catalyst are the ones that come to mind. They have already launched Patheon 2.0 which also isn’t ready. Once they inevitably lay you off, they will pay your severance out in a salary continuation instead of a lump sum. When they do this, they do not have to pay unemployment and you will not receive at least 2 weeks of unemployment pay. It is an extremely shady thing to do and they do it every time there is layoffs. There have been 5 rounds of layoffs since 2023 into 2026, and there have been 3 presidents in 3.5 years as well. The company is headed into a downward spiral and they are frantic trying to clean everything up so Vontier doesn’t dump them. Stay very far away from this company, the culture is extremely toxic and the work is mind-numbingly unfulfilling.
