Solid perks including stocked kitchen, work from home, and benefits package.

The young company vibe keeps you on your toes. There are natural growing pains with any small business, but management is always open to new ideas to help improve processes.

Pros

If you like free beer and snacks this place is for you.

Cons

“A goal without a plan is just a wish” this quote embodies the majority of Virgil holdings. The executive team at Virgil has a lot of wishes. There is a lot that they want to accomplish, however they have no plan and from what I’ve seen they have no goals of making a plan. The company is constantly churning, making decisions on the fly, changing those decisions on a whim, and constantly changing the corporate direction based on the fires they are fighting today. The expectations of employees is not clearly stated and the executive team frequently tries to push people to “step up” and “deliver more” even when employees are already working 50-60 hour weeks. Virgil holdings also has a track record of promising benefits and compensation that they can not follow through with. Some of the basic compensation agreements in their offer letters have never been fulfilled and the executive team does not seem motivated to do right by their employees.
