The people here Rock! - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Vovici

Vovici has welcomed a highly intelligent group of exceptional individuals who work hard and share a common sense of community. While some complain of the layout and "noise" in the new office, the comradarie and ability to interact with fellow members of the pride is well advanced in comparison to the old location. Managers support the development of their teams professionally and personally, and internal recognition is given frequently through email communications on an ever frequent basis. After working for a company who clearly only cared about their bottom line and whose employees were there one day and gone the next, Vovici is an amazing breath of fresh air.

Complaints from a few employees who are out of touch with the reality of what working for a company with truly gutter-level morale can hamper the work that Vovici does to maintain one of their most highly-regarded core values - "No Name Jerseys"

Vovici is a great company to work for. It's growing, which means that there are many opportunities to build the skills you want or need to build in your career. There's a strong culture that centers around the idea of team and customers, but I'd say we're pretty diverse and run the scale from pessimist to optimist, introvert to extrovert, critic to champion with everyone in between. And what I like best is that although the culture is strong, you don't have to be a Kool-Aid drinker to make it here (which is good, because in the original "drinking Kool-Aid" story everyone who drank it died.) In my experience, diverse opinions are expressed and ultimately respected. The best part about Vovici, hands-down, are the people who work here. I am always learning something I don't know, and it's impressive how there are people who are great across the company. (i.e. we don't have that one department that gets all the eye rolls...unless of course I'm in it and just don't know about it. In which case we do have just the one.) We're small enough that it's still pretty easy to build relationships across departments without having to make a herculean effort to do so. Senior leadership has a long-term strategy which hasn't really changed in the 2 years our CEO has been in seat. Unlike other places where I've worked, we seem to make moves that actually align with that strategy. That makes it a lot easier to prioritize what's on my plate.

A growing company has growing pains. We're in that adolescent period where a company recognizes it's too small for the ad-hoc HR processes and now needs to build formal ones. Performance management, compensation management, career development--these things are all manager-dependent, so quality and quantity varies. These areas were surfaced in our employee engagement survey and each has an executive owner. So are they issues? Yes. Are senior leaders working to address them? Also yes. I would like for it to be faster, but having worked around the HR space before I know that it's usually better to take the time to set up these processes right then to do them quick and dirty. Growth also means the pace can be quite fast, and it's easy to take on extra responsibilities which many employees do--work-life balance can get pretty skewed, pretty quickly if you and your manager aren't careful. The last thing Vovici needs to work on is internal communication--things move really quickly around here and we don't necessarily stop for a breather as a company to make sure we're all on the same page before we dive back in again. This isn't just downward communication--it's also upward and across. But this also is something senior leadership is actively working to fix. In short, like every other company I've worked for, Vovici has "cons." But unlike other places where I've worked, the issues aren't swept under the rug and senior leaders are working to address them.
