Pros

Some of the co-workers were very knowledgeable.

Cons

This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for in my entire life. Lack of management, no clear direction, no goals, no communication, the list goes on. As far as I know it is run by proxy by an old man through the telephone because he is not well enough to come in. As a result of this poor management literally nothing gets done as there is no direction to the projects at hand. Therefore, when I first started I was confused as to where to go with the projects given and how they would otherwise make money. I feel like at one point it must have been a good company but now they are surviving (barely) on the momentum of previous work accomplished. Since there is not much direction, one is often left there wondering what to do and where to go. Despite this, the boss will constantly micromanage leaving you under a state of duress in what feels like a sinking ship. Also, they are not entirely honest. My contract said that I would have no copays in my insurance package but there was clearly a copay (a very large one at that). Also I was communicated in the very beginning that it would be a 9 to 5 job, but we encourage you to stay later when the work demands it, then later on was informed that I would have to stay later than that with no extra pay even though there was no clear work that needed to be done. I could tell that they were not doing too well financially and in the end I was let go based on "my performance."

Pros

While working at Vocal I worked on cool projects and enjoyed my time working with the people there. You have to put the work in to learn when starting, and resources are provided to you for this such as books or other people to ask questions to. After the initial learning period the work becomes very rewarding. It is definitely an environment that encourages learning through a variety of methods. I worked on a variety of different projects where I was given the ability to solve problems through methods of my choosing which might not be the case at other companies. If you are someone who enjoys a good challenge and likes to learn you will probably like working at Vocal.

Cons

Longer hours are expected at first as there is a lot to learn to get up to speed.
