Svantaggi
Leadership is absent at best, manipulative at worst. The partners pick favorites based on social capital, not an objective view of performance or quality of work. As a junior team member, there is no respect for work/life balance, but you're being paid as a marketer, not an investment banker. The pay structure at Vermeer incentivizes partners to grind the junior team. Plus, the work itself is very lackluster and mostly segmentations, even though Vermeer brands itself as much more than that. Perhaps the biggest con at Vermeer is the culture. It is absolutely unlike anything I've ever experienced, and it's impossible to describe. The egos at Vermeer are insane. Employees dress in suit and tie to assert their importance. Superficiality is valued. To succeed at Vermeer, you need to be willing to give up your morals. Those who are unwilling leave in under a year. I highly recommend that any potential new hires address any concerns head on. This place is exactly what you are afriad it might be.
