      Pros

      Has the trappings to be a great company. Had been a great company in the past.

      Cons

      Retirement of senio leadership has the company in a tail spin. Poorly executed sale of company has forced lay off after lay off. Money wasted in product development areas where tech learned is never shared with rest of the company unless by accident.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience at ViON. We value your feedback and constantly strive to make ViON the employer of choice. Of course, our perspective of ViON is a little different from yours. ViON has been a great company for our 37 years in business and remains a great company today. We feel this is reflected in our consistent recognition as one of the best places to work in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. The Washington Post recognized us in 2017 and 2016. The Washington Business Journal recognized us in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008. In terms of retirements, our Executive Leadership team has been in place for a number of years. ViON’s President and CEO, Tom Frana, has been leading the company consistently since 1992. Additionally, your comment about layoff after layoff is terribly misguided.

      Pros

      The 5 years I spent at ViON were the best of my professional career. The owners care about their employees and take great care of them. They empower you to take care of your customers.

      Cons

      None that I can think of.

      Pros

      No Sales Quotas. Free training but most you would never use there. Same for certifications payments. Average concise benefits. Free coffee in the cafe.

      Cons

      The annual bonus plan was significantly "misrepresented". Was told and have documented the bonus would be 20-30% of base pay. Well over 2.5 years guess what average 8% of base pay. Also, Vacation time will disappear with no warning if your not careful. Had the opportuntiy to work last Christmas and New years weeks for a RFP and could not take vacation. This resulted in two weeks of vacation time lost and they dont pay for that. Company has so many folks that been there for over 10/20 plus years that someone has to die or move away to get promoted. Managers/Vice Presidents seem to always go to trade shows every month in good locations while the pre sales guys get stuck in DC at FOSE, etc. VP of Engineering is agressive in his expections of selling and unrealistic in the execution and processes. Constant extra duty like uploading whitepapers to a file share run on third rate storage.
