Vantaggi

-work/life balance -benefits -location -.25 cents drinks -Nice new facilities -education assistance

Svantaggi

-Few opportunities for advancement or training. -Many long tenured employees and leaders who at best seem demotivated and stuck in their ways. Some individuals are active or passive saboteurs without accountability. It's interesting too that long-time employees are rewarded with a "Sabbatical" for putting in their "time" regardless if their contributions are next to nonexistent. -Considered by some as a nice culture, however upon close inspection you realize that the culture condones passive aggressive, unproductive, and dishonest behavior and that's what is referred to as "nice." -Their strategy teams are unfocused, unproductive, and uneducated about the work for which they are responsible. These teams take a long time to make decisions. Often they sponsor smaller teams to do work that would generally take a few months but instead turn into these long running projects that take years. The interesting thing is that by the time the work is done the outcome is shelved because it is no longer relevant. k -Decision making is excruciatingly long.

Vantaggi

Able to work remotely was the only benefit I experienced.

Svantaggi

After 18 years as a Vertex employee, my one take away after being laid off is that Vertex always was a reactionary company. Rarely ever was a corporate strategy proactive based upon solid market research. Vertex executives were always chasing the "shiny object", which on several occasions were the subject matter of the latest Geoffrey Moore book. I also observed on many occasions a lack of longterm commitment to any established strategy. Almost as if the company had an Attention Deficent Disorder. Think about it - here is a company that arguably was first to market with a product (automated corporate tax software), with an attractive annuity revenue model (recurring fees for update tax data), great opportunities for cross-sales to existing customers, yet never came close to breaking the billion dollar sales barrier. In fact, the company has remained virtually stagnant in terms of total customer companies for decades. Lastly, the company is simply much too woke for my liking.
