Pros

- Small but mighty team (especially on the marketing side) which gives us the flexibility to choose from several possible initiatives and further develop my career - Can move really fast on new ideas that make an impact almost immediately - Our customers love the product and are willing to provide feedback to make it even better - Incredibly dedicated, smart, and fun people to work with (even when joining remotely during these Covid times) - Christina, Vanta CEO, has been very thoughtful about how she's grown the business and has been as transparent and inclusive as a founder can be throughout the journey

Cons

- So busy at times that it can be hard to remember to relax and get to know your fellow employees as people - Young company = growth problems. To be expected at a startup and it's just part of the process.

Pros

Great salary, I work on a team that has excellent balance. I get recognized when I do good work.

Cons

Company has a big focus on AI, but not sure we’re all marching in the same direction and often doesn’t feel like a good use of resources.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, decent work life balance

Cons

This place is incredibly dysfunctional. Every day feels draining. Toxic and rude coworkers, immature leadership, incompetent and ineffective management, inefficient processes... it's nearly impossible to get anything done without multiple layers of review and endless rounds of revisions. The bureaucracy is exhausting. Decisions are made in siloes and often walked back because they weren’t thought through properly to begin with. Information is shared selectively and you will often learn of things “through the grapevine”. Priorities, goals, metrics are nowhere to be found. There's little sense of culture and very little to no focus on employee experience, DEI, or anything beyond the bottom line. Many people come across as disengaged, transactional, and self-interested. Development opportunities are limited, and career and compensation growth are slow even for strong performers. Office politics are prevalent, employee concerns are rarely acted on, and meaningful feedback is rarely given or asked for. There is an overwhelming focus on AI, often without consideration of resource usage, output quality, or security implications, which is surprising given the industry. Usage is duplicative, disconnected, and directionless. I've honestly never felt less connected to my work. At some point, I found myself emotionally checking out just to preserve my own well-being.
