Vantaggi

Benefits are ok, employees care about the culture, and nice office space in headquarter location.

Svantaggi

Last year was a struggle, no bonus, no promotions and hiring freeze. Seems the CEO feels that forcing back 50% of the staff to the Wakefield office will fix things, along with laying off the COO and CPO. But there’s still 50% who work remotely or in other offices, so we can only hope we’re not creating a bigger divide. Comp is very low but nothing is being done to fix it, because leaders don’t believe it’s a problem. For those who have been here 5+ years, we’re just holding on to a glimmer of hope that somehow this will turn around, while the job market is terrible and we’re not left with many other options. Hoping 2024 is better, or this may be it for Virtual.

Thanks for the thoughtful review. I’m sorry to hear you’re not optimistic on where we are heading, but I understand it. Change isn’t easy, and we have been through—and are going to continue to have—change in our company as we keep pace with the world. And yes, you’re correct that I believe that having people back in the office is important to our culture. Our culture is based on trust and relationships—and those relationships are based on face to face engagement. Once you have a strong base, having remote employees works just fine—we’ve had remote workers since we formed (it’s part of where our name came from) but you need the critical mass to build culture. On compensation, we do regular market reviews on salary and compensation and make adjustments as we can. But bottom line, it sounds like you’re not happy. I can tell you this—my door is always open and my calendar is open for anyone to book time. If you’ve got ideas on how we can do things better than we’re doing them now, come on in and talk to me and be part of the solution. You may find it gets more results than an anonymous post on a web site.

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry you didn't have a more positive experience, but glad you took away some positives. Not surprisingly, I'm not quite aligned with some of your negatives--but clearly you've made up your mind. Sufice to say, there are organizations--and people--who aspire to be rewarded with additional work based on their performance. I've been watching Wimbledon this week---players who win are rewarded with an even harder match the next round. Funny how that works. As for the lack additional comp, I'm surprised to read that--I've ok'd promotions and increases nearly every year that I've worked here. Our last year without salary increases was 2002. I hope you find success wherever you have landed.
