Pros

The truth about working at Vidico is that the overall team is indeed talented. Across the gamut, we have a lot of great artistry, and talent in marketing, post. Each team on the average is pretty great, and decent people too. Leadership seem to be willing to listen and have open conversations, often in front of the entire company. For ex: there’s a company wide meeting that happens every month. They show financials, talk about wins and losses so I always have a transparent idea on project volume and how the company is going. I haven’t seen this in companies I have worked at before. Listened to a podcast that said that a workplace is great if you can control at least 50% of your time. I would say I get more than that. Maybe 70% to decide my own schedule once I’ve gotten my project list and tasks with my manager for the week.

Cons

Calls with New York or London clients can be hard, but you get to finish early so it balances out.

Thank you for the kind words! We have tried to even out the timezones more given that we have staff across three different cities. Appreciate the feedback! —Team Vidico

Pros

The people and teams are great. Middle management is fantastic. Good projects. Opportunity to push your creativity. Freedom in approach to project direction. Supportive workplace on the whole. HR and processes are improving.

Cons

Culture is in a rough place with many changes occuring- classic teething pains of a growing company. Hopefull this will pass. Salary is average in this economy. Women in same roles getting paid less than male counterparts is disappointing.

We’re thankful to hear that you think we’re a supportive workplace, as it’s something we care about deeply across our 1:1s, meetings with HR, leave options, hybrid working, project distribution and weekly check-ins on bandwidth. We also invested in mental health training for our management team. The teacher at that training confirmed that Vidico had set up many of the right systems and processes for mental health in the workplace. If you have any further suggestions beyond what we’ve implemented over the past three years, we would deeply appreciate it if you edited your response to include any recommended solutions about how you would approach company culture and mental health. It would be helpful to you, the team and the company as a whole. Regarding your criticism: - Decisions on salary are objective and impartial - many indicators must be taken into account such as qualifications, work experience, performance, skills, knowledge, initiative, abilities, etc. There is, and always will be differences in salary based on the criteria listed above. - Renumeration aligns with Payscale and is typically above market average. It’s negotiated with each team member at the offer stage and reviewed annually. - Vidico is a highly diverse and multi-cultural workplace where we hire on merit, on skills and values. If you are able to edit your response to include any recommended and specific solutions, we are more than willing to listen to them and take on feedback. We hope that in time, your view on the company will change for the better.
