Pros

The people are smart. You get to work with big brands.

Cons

The company lacks a vision, which makes it a very dull place to work. While I had high hopes, my experience at Vermeer was agonizing. There was never a sense of "why" behind anything the firm did, or at least it was never conveyed through the ranks. Branding as a topic is extremely interesting, but the actual deliverables and assignments at Vermeer were consistently bland. There was just a lot of wasted time during the day doing work that didn't really matter. The other employees also felt equally uninspired. This is depressing for me to even write. I wish everyone the best. Also the pay is too low.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
