Validus Risk Management Reviews

Extremely high staff turnover. Many people get fired for very stupid reasons. If you fall out of favour you are gone. If the CEO doesn't like you, you are gone. If you say something the CEO doesn't like, you are gone. Highly political atmosphere. Everyone is fighting each other. I was repeatedly told to ignore emails from another colleague by my manager which resulted in that person getting fired. Incompetent management. People are there through tenure / favouritism. Very basic level of knowledge displayed by management. Extremely poor salaries. Well below industry standard pay levels.

A drifting boat. Senior management is unable to think strategically, set a clear direction of the company nor understand about scalability. This does not mean mid-level management is not good, as there are some extraordinary team managers. The products and systems are a big mess that a regiment of analysts and developers are unable to maintain. With proper planing, a similar system would take three or four developers and an analyst just a couple of months to be developed from scratch. I left after most (though not all) of the people I respected started to leave. The company has no way to retain talent.
