Pros

Unlimited gourmet snacks and alcohol in the office SoHo location Good pay

Cons

High micro-management by executive team. Program management team is very un-organized, not up to date on current trends in the industry, and do not give creative and development teams the confidence to do a good job. Project management leads get too involved and makes everyone's job much harder than it needs to be. The executive teams say they are open to process feedback, but then have a my-way-or-the-highway attitude and will make your life miserable. Most people who work here do not speak or write in English very well. Boys club No summer Fridays Do not get Martin Luther King Day or Presidents Day off Open between Christmas and New Years No benefits other than a crappy health insurance policy Company changes the Employee Handbook whenever they want

Pros

Intelligent, empathetic team members who care about each other and about delivering good work Good healthcare coverage

Cons

Inept and self-serving leaders who rely on their hardworking teams to get the work that they are unable / incapable of doing themselves, though will happily take the credit for Callous disregard for team’s time, availability, privacy or personal space Blatant favouritism among management and leadership with nepotism running rife throughout the company; good people leave or they’re forced. The bad apples bop to the top and stay insulated because of their closeness to senior leadership Loyalty above all to the CEO is paramount at Vertic. The CEO - who on a good day is a mediocre businessperson - mostly creates headwinds for the team who continually try to pivot around their wildly unpopular company policies, changing viewpoints or half-baked business initiatives. The view on the ground is that the team is just a money making machine for the CEO and their leadership team to line their pockets with Boring, repetitive, and overly complicated projects sold by sales and account teams who oversell and overpromise whilst providing teams with no support in managing client’s expectations Very few clients return, as most quickly realize that they have been sold in with promises that the small, over-stretched and under resource Vertic team cannot deliver on Massive pay disparity between management and mid/junior team members, particularly when it comes to foreign workers who are grossly underpaid and exploited
