Interesting Work, Culture of Fear

Recommend

Pros

This company has very smart people who desire to do well. The benefits are good and the 401k match is great. The work is interesting. There are celebrations (Cinco de Mayo) with beer and wine.

Cons

Am approaching my six month anniversary and realize that I have made a mistake. There is a climate of fear. If you make a mistake or express an unpopular opinion, you go on the radar screen for being fired. Everyone is just a disposable pawn. This is a small company, yet the CEO doesn't interact with the employees. My coworkers tell me that the way to survive is to stay under your desk and keep your head down.

Pros

401K is good and ok money; cool projects (most get cancelled); and mostly smart people work there but none stay long

Cons

Middle management is overpaid, underqualified and lacks basic leadership qualities; CEO has no business experience; Excessive turnover and difficulty hiring (i.e. look at how many jobs are posted considering the company is not growing);

Pros

Vulcan pays above market salaries. Do not work long hours.

Cons

Management is very poor and not capable of running the firm. Ideas and decisions are capricious and not based on long run goals but latest thoughts or desire. Poor track record makes it hard to be proud to work there. Does not contribute to any social causes. Nepotism is rife and middle management is based on longevity not competence. Turnover is extremely high indicating faults in the operating model and reflecting the poor mood pervasive at the firm.
