Pros
Best of the best toys. Decent talent. Above average leadership. Excellent supportive HR that seems to work for the people (read the cons about how difficult that it is to get paid though). Company SEEMS to care on the surface, presents a caring image, but you will discover that it is a facade. AVDG does a lot of stuff correctly. Company credit cards, choice of laptops/phones. Access to equipment, knowledge, training. Really nice collaboration tools (Slack) and management is fairly willing to hear complaints and thoughts/feedback. Some really good decisions from management (but not all).
Cons
Management loves to blame people before doing an investigation/witch hunt. No matter how perfect or precise your work, or your skill level: management will find ANY excuse to terminate your employment regardless of how small, petty, or insignificant the offense. Some of the most talented people were fired for the stupidest of reasons. Good luck getting paid when your tenure ends. Nightmare getting paid after termination. Broken processes apply to EVERYTHING including HR, including payroll, including sales, including estimation, including design, including documentation, including programming. Many things simply dont work well here. Getting paid was seamless DURING employment but final pay check is late, delayed, constant excuses, constant fight to get each portion of pay. Starts to feel like abuse after a week now working on 2 weeks and still not paid. My case might be unique, if that be the case then AVDG will know who I am based on this alone, but it is a solid measurement of how broken and dysfunctional that the process is there and what to watch out for. Have no concern for this as the frustration with the process has me quite disinterested in a return here at least in the next couple or few years until they learn how to do real company things such as paying people promptly and accurately. Nothing works well here, even small things that we take for granted in the rest of the world simply do not work here or do not work well when any crisis happens. Long term prospects might be good by 2022 or 2023. Short term 2020 I would stay clear and use great caution in 2021. 2020 AVDG started Q360 a new service management platform. That might solve some of the problems IF management stops firing all of the employees.
