Pros

Meeting and working with former employees. I would hire and work with any of the previous staff that has been push out, let go, or have left on there own accord. Being let go, is the BIG PRO! I felt an obligation to a startup company to which I was part of for its first two years of growth. After being let go, I accepted a position with an amazing company, 100% remote, 2x more equity, and 50% more in compensation, 100% paid benefits, unlimited vacation, a paid wellness day each month, $100 a month to use for anything you want, a monthly GrubHub amount to purchase lunch or dinner, as well as 401k with contribution.

Cons

Word to the wise: Review, research, read, and reach out to employees who have previously worked at Via. Look at where they are now and message them to ask about the culture and why they have moved far away from Via. When a companies management team puts multiple reviews on Glassdoor, speaking extremely poorly about previous exceptional employees whom they took the time to interview, hire, and mentor, this should be a larger RED flag to those seeking employment with Via. Review any and all lawsuits that have been and continue to be filled against the company by both customers and employees.

Pros

There was a good group of people who had joined.

Cons

Worst CEO I've ever worked for. He believed he was the next Steve Jobs, but was about the furthest thing from it when it came to his understanding of the product and the needs of the business. Horrible people skills, talked behind everyone's back, belittled his employees in from of teams on a daily basis, and refused allow anyone to do the jobs they were hired to do. Micro management doesn't even begin to describe what a day in the life was like a Via. I still have nightmares thinking about working with that CEO again. I highly advise anyone who might stumble across this to steer clear from this person.
