What is the best part of working at the company?
Worked remotely that turned into hybrid position.  The pay was great.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Manager threatened to fire me when I missed putting the 8 hours on the timesheet.  The manager required a hourly log, as well as being constantly active on Teams.  Was threatened daily about my job.  He let me go at 90 days before my admin was even finished for me to turn the job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Me and one other person worked remotely from every one else, so there was never an interaction with others on a personal level.  The level one in Mississippi seemed nice, but we’re clearly qualified for level two.  It felt like I had taken something from them.  In fact, when I was let go, one of the people from that support center moved and took my position.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would log in at 8 and start a couple meetings.  I would watch applications at the level one, because I was never able to get my admin rights to learn the level 2 position.  I would finish the day meeting online with managers and turn in time log of different events covered for that day.

ValidaTek totes a high bar on the "family" atmosphere and the "community" aspect.  As professionals, we should see these words and they should equate to "underpaid" and "undervalued." VT pushes a lot of overly-extravagant things to distract employees from the fact that they're being underpaid and will probably never be promoted, and if you ask for a raise, prepare to be on probation. 

The office culture is fine, nothing to brag about, but the micro-managing and faux-kindness from senior executives is patronizing and unnecessary. Most of the people that work here are old, retired, military professionals who are wildly out of touch with subsequent generations and demand un-warranted respect. If you're an anxiety junkie, love panic-checking your email constantly, and have a kink for Stockholm syndrome, don't hesitate on this company!

Typical work day consists of logging in and checking various emails for system alerts that pertain to SAN Storage System environments. Address any alerts that require immediate attention by working with hardware vendors to resolve alerts. Check with team to assist with or pick up any work related issues that require immediate attention. Attend team meetings regarding current and upcoming issues within our area of responsibility.
Great workplace environment that provides the ability for cross training with fellow team members.
Great management staff to work with that always allows for grow and input on critical thinking situations.

The typical day at work is fast paste, you need to be able to multitask.  I have learned to work with procurement, administrator support.  The management was far. It was awesome, then they changed it as the team grew.  The workplace culture is awesome.  The hardest part of the job is waiting for information to complete the process of the job you are working to complete sometime.  The most enjoyable part is the team working together to achieve the goal that is set.

Validatek is the best company to work for they are not just a scam company just to get rich off a government contract.  They pay us well and they are very accommodating, I wish they could win all the government contracts in the world they truly provide a great atmosphere and a salary families can raise a successful family.  Head management and owners are very down to earth. The head recruiter is also excellent 

I cannot speak on ValidaTek from a corporate standpoint, but as an on-site contractor. The team I work with has it drama and frustrations, but overall it has good chemistry and atmosphere. The major issue I have with this position is being underpaid, due to poor contract bidding, and there is no room for increase. Company has good benefits, paid holidays, and tries its best with morale (happy hour/holiday party/etc) but it falls short for people who don’t work at headquarters.

High turnover. Management lacks qualifications. Company does not promote from within. More concerned with Happy Hours than employees welfare. No raises. Underpaid employees. Company makes promises to employees but does not keep them. Lack of communication from management. Not employee oriented. Company is slow to progress. Would not recommend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people was the best part! I enjoyed the great people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part was the work.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great work environment and the best people I have ever work with.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Friendly people helping to get the job done.

This company has been the best company I've worked for thus far. They are extremely employee oriented and want what's best for the employee. They are able to assist in training and certifications, which is amazing. I've enjoyed working with my team and enjoy the family- like atmosphere within the company. I would recommend ValidaTek to anyone. Small business that is growing at an appropriate pace.

Their culture is the epitome of micromanagement. You have to clock in and out and you are a salaried employee on a fixed firm price contract. Its ridiculous. The company overall is a good. They have good benefits, to include 401k, tuition reimbursement, and training programs.
