. - werkgeversreview Project Engineer bij Voltage Advertising

Friendly coworkers and fun place to work Great downtown location

At times there is a lack of direction

Some of the side projects can be fun. I really liked my co-workers at the time. Life balance was good, not so much anymore one day work from home a week.

Eric is a free spirit type that will have a million wackado creative ideas, which is fun, but also can be controlling, yet unclear on feedback, and derails almost all projects. There will be a million changes, and most of the time you are picking projects up last minute when he gets bored and wants to move to something else. The files you get from him are giant messes. Side projects usually don't go anywhere either. Eric will disappear when there is bad news/any confrontation. He's inflexible to any pushback. Not clear on direction. Just wants to "make cool stuff" his way. Most of the leadership is out of office sporadically. HR is a joke. You can definitely feel like this is a Mormon company. Not being religious or male leaves you at a disadvantage. Voltage has high ambitions but no flexibility or plan for the future. Pay is not competitive, they prefer contract to hire, if they offer you a full time job they will offer you low. They use other employees/interns to try and spy on everyone else.
