Good learning experience with some challenges - werkgeversreview Associate Software Developer bij Valtech

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.

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.

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.
