Avantages

My managers are always open to discussing my career goals and supporting my growth within the company in any way they can. They have my back when it comes to advancing my career; whether it be helping me find opportunities for promotion within the company or assisting with updating my resume and recommending me for positions outside the company. I feel comfortable seeking help from other departments and asking co-workers questions about something I don't know the answer to. Over the past couple of years, my co-workers have become some of my best friends. I enjoy going to work every day because I get to spend my day with people I care about and admire.

Inconvénients

Communication across departments needs improvement. I understand this is the case with many companies. However, I feel VR really has a chance to improve communication because we aren't that big. It's easy to get up from your desk and talk to someone in another department. I don't feel like people take advantage of this as much as they should. We use email and chat to correspond with each other throughout the day, but sometimes you need to speak to someone face to face. People don't always do this; consequently, the message is lost.

Avantages

Most of the employees were nice, interesting, talented people who were a joy to work with. The neighborhood is cool and company events were generally enjoyable.

Inconvénients

Upper management is completely clueless and did not appear to have even a basic grasp of the company's purpose / vision even after being in charge for years. It's questionable as to why a company with 100 employees needs to have C-Level, VP Level and Director level management. How many layers do you possibly need between the CEO and a department of nine people? The result of all these layers of management is meeting after meeting after meeting. I spent at least 20 hours a week in meetings (this was not abnormal for any employee) as this made management feel like they were busy doing something. If you look at this site, you'll see there are 18 positions currently available. This is not because the company is rapidly growing. It's because roughly 50% of the staff quit since the beginning of 2010 and are continually needing to be replaced (in some cases, individual positions have had to be replaced multiple times). Losing half your staff -- many of whom, like myself, worked there for years and years -- is devastating. Yet management has changed nothing.
