Clients portfolio, interesting verticals, fast-paced projects (when they're coming in)

Minpunten

I joined Valtech when my company was acquired. My experience over the last year has ranged from neutral to downright abysmal. This review is mainly for those in the same acquisition boat--I am not sure how my opinion would be if I had just joined Valtech outright. During the process of merging into broader Valtech, my company had to make several large changes to operations and workflow within a very short amount of time. Management claimed these would be rolled out with advanced notice, but communication broke down quickly and my coworkers and I had no visibility into what was coming next, what would change in our daily work, and why this was happening. Fair, constructive feedback was met with hostility and retaliation from management who were seemingly unable to handle the idea that they were in the wrong. There's gatekeeping of information and gaslighting of employee feedback and complaints under the guise that this is all normal for an acquired company. Recently some folks were laid off with no notice to their functional groups and operational teams--some people who were fired literally did a 6AM deployment and were gone by lunch. There has been extremely limited communication on what happens next, who will be taking those folks' workload, and how we can expect our daily operations to change. TLDR; if you're acquired anticipate that your work will change, your team will be broken up, and you'll be made to feel like you're the problem if you raise concerns

Great work environment. Real commitment to diversity that goes beyond the surface level.

Thin spread of employees that results in a lot of work on each contributor individually.

Pluspunten

Leaving this review so that candidates considering interviewing for roles at Valtech have an honest and objective view on things. Simply put - avoid Valtech at all costs. This is not a well run company. Culturally it's a dumpster fire as the company has struggled to merge acquired companies into one entity - lots of fiefdoms. Most senior level/C-level execs are poorly equipped to run teams - there's zero leadership here. Most of the leadership team is in their role because their agency was acquired by Valtech and by default they were given the position. New business acquisition is non-existent. Most new business is acquired through RFPs, although there is a bus dev in team in place now which is great. But the company is trying to pivot to an 'AI focused' consulting org. Make no mistake - Valtech is NOT anything close to a consulting org. This is a glorified body shop. I honestly wish this wasn't so - there are some smart and extremely capable people that work here, but leadership will drive this place into the ground. Avoid at all costs.

Minpunten

Zero leadership. No new business. Unrealistic timelines/expectations. Lack of resources. Constant layoffs. Poor company culture. Zero transparency. Be everything to everyone mentality in order to try and win business. Body shop at best.
