Vantaggi

I am submitting this as a former employee as Glassdoor does not have a category for candidates. This review reflects my experience as a final stage candidate for a senior role.

Svantaggi

The early stages were genuinely impressive, structured, engaging, and reflective of a business with real ambition. The case study was stretching and relevant. The people I met were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they're building. The final stages were more difficult. Following what was described as the final interview with the CPO, the goalposts moved, a CEO meeting was added late in the process with little notice or explanation. That is understandable to a point. What followed was less so. A promised call wasn't delivered and I had to chase for an update before receiving feedback by email. When I raised this, the response cited "crossed wires", a phrase that deflects rather than acknowledges. A commitment was made and not kept. I'd simply ask whether that explanation would be acceptable to one of their clients. The outcome cited a role that had evolved toward a more practice-led, CFO advisory remit — a significant shift from how the position was originally scoped. For future candidates it's worth understanding clearly upfront whether the role is delivery leadership or senior consulting advisory, they are different profiles and different career paths. I respect the decision and wish the team well. VantagePoint is building something interesting. I'd just encourage them to invest in the candidate experience with the same rigour they ask candidates to bring to the process.

Vantaggi

This is a great place for people who want to work with cutting edge technology and financial transformation. Colleagues are friendly and helpful, and management has a genuine interest in every employee's development. If you want exposure to other businesses, to challenge yourself to grow and learn, and to work with incredibly intelligent people to foster your growth, VantagePoint is a great environment for that.

Svantaggi

This is a consultancy firm where you may work with challenging or demanding clients. This can sometimes lead to tight deadlines. But that is sometimes the nature of customer service regardless of where you work. It's not really a con, it just comes with the territory.

Vantaggi

Working at VantagePoint has provided a truly collaborative experience within a global setting, fostering a sense of unity akin to a tight-knit family. Despite the company's expansive reach, the familial culture remains intact, creating an environment where every team member feels valued. VantagePoint offers diverse opportunities for professional growth, allowing individuals to align their roles with their specific interests, be it in management, technical expertise, training, or project management. The competitive compensation package reflects the company's commitment to recognizing and rewarding talent. Regular travel to various locations, including other countries, for meetups enhances the collective spirit and exposes employees to a variety of perspectives. The management's proactive approach to encouraging employees to step out of their comfort zones, although initially intimidating, proves instrumental in fostering personal development. Notably, upper management remains accessible at all times, reinforcing the company's dedication to open communication. Partnerships with cutting-edge technologies like Workiva, Pigment, Tagetik, and NetSuite adds additional opportunities. Furthermore, VantagePoint's commitment to employee development is evident through its investment in training opportunities, solidifying its reputation as an employer dedicated to nurturing talent.

Svantaggi

VantagePoint has its challenges, including high insurance costs and occasional last-minute schedule changes to meet immediate needs. Another aspect to address is the desire for more annual leave days. While the company has its strengths, these areas present opportunities for improvement in the overall employee experience.
