Toxic management and poor training overshadow any positives - Advertising Account Executive Vert Markets, Inc. Employee Review

The culture is spot on.

Growth is problematic, the company is trying to compete with big budgets ro carve out space in the small business market, but Ai has created a new hurdle that is slowing growth dramatically.

I recently, ( and reluctantly, for personal reasons ) left VertMarkets after over 18 months as senior developer. Although, the hiring process was indeed long I quite enjoyed the methodical way they were testing me. During my stint, I was quite surprised by the effort and money IT team spent on keeping up with latest technology.More than once I spent substantial amount of time, at work, building proof-of-concept programs just to get a handle on the emerging technology. They offer PluralSight membership for all developers which is pretty handy to get started on such projects. Many skills I learnt at VM have been very helpful in my current job. The deadlines are very flexible mainly because the emphasis is on quality and reliability of the product being built. The testing and release procedures are well established so I never saw anyone work week-ends or nights for production releases. Dress policy, over-time policy are additional attractions. IT team works remotely very often depending on personal situation. The business community ( newsletter editors and coordinators ) was very accessible and helpful. One can just stop by or call without any appointment. ( large employers often frown on such informality ) If you enjoy working with cutting-edge technology with a small and efficient team this is definitely THE place for you.

It is not a exponentially growing company. From what I saw and understood, the revenue and employee count was pretty stable.
