Good experience, but burnout and anxiety are the norm - Anonymous VSC Employee Review

Strong company culture. Smart, driven, and supportive colleagues. Work from anywhere Brilliant clients with leading edge technology Opportunities to learn new skills all the time

Not exactly a con, but the company moves at a high speed because our clients are at the very edge of technology and you have to be on your toes and learning all the time.

Working at VSC was not easy, however, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. My time working here taught me more about PR and communications than all of college did. I really appreciated the fact that my managers, Maggie Philbin and Rick Liebling, would take the time to really coach me. My mentors were competent, and their hands-on training made me respect them so much. VSC is creative, adaptable, and keeps up with trends. That said, we worked fast to keep up with the newest strategies for promoting our clients. These strategies are invaluable. It was hard work, but the company does its best to maintain good work/life balance with remote work and vacation days.

Keeping up with the speed of Silicon Valley is difficult if you are not passionate about tech. Like any other industry, there's a lot you need to know about the culture, history, and jargon in order to write about it authoritatively. Our clients, being startup founders, could be inconsistent.
