Vision Internet

Acquired by Granicus

Is this your company?

Amazing team of developers/engineers. But not enough recognition in terms of value nor respect. Very hierarchical. - Programmer/Developer Vision Internet Employee Review

Pros

Life inside the developers/programming team is the bomb. This particular team has come a long way and created a culture comparable to that of a start up. Perhaps a good place to start for a first job but not for the long run.

Cons

I'll be honest. Programmers and software engineers are at the bottom of food chain for this company. Kind of backwards when you compare that to any other company in the tech industry. Lower than standard pay. Expect long hours (at least 50 per week) and no "tangible" benefits or acknowledgement from the company if you're a programmer/coder other than a pat in the back. Note: programmers are one of the only ones that don't share in the profits in forms of bonuses or compensation for milestones being smashed, company goals being met. Think about it when you analyze how much real effort/brain power goes into a project. Project = 5% Sales + 15% Design + 20% Client management + 60% Coding (at least 60%). Work life balance is also off for those in the coding/programming teams as well as most programmers stay late and work for "free" under pressure to finish projects

Pros

It is a fairly small company so it is easy to stand out and get recognition for what you do if you are good at it. You can potentially have a large impact on the company and really see the results of your work. Great culture, great people to work with. The new management has made a big difference in the past year, and with the new leadership it is an exciting time to be working at Vision. Potential to tailor your position to your strengths, good career progression and opportunities to learn new skills. Flexible hours. I could have gone somewhere else for a little more money but the other benefits of working for Vision have far outweighed the benefit of working at some other company for a little more money.

Cons

Right now the office space and parking situation isn't great, but will be moving to a better location in the fall. Currently no 401k.
