Pros

Its hard to find a company that at an entry level position, you not only have a voice, but can have a serious impact on the company. Virool is that and much more. There are constantly new opportunities to step up and be a leader, no matter the seniority or stature. The culture itself, may be on of the best aspects about Virool. From day one, you are brought into a close-knit family of people, that care about your success in and out of the office. I enjoy coming to work (even on my worst day), because I know that the people around me will support and help me through the highs and lows. Lastly, Virool promotes the idea of being a Green Banana. This notions, is never being content with what you know or your abilities. You should always be improving and pushing yourself to learning more, and the people at Virool will hold you to that. This is truly an amazing trait for any organization (especially when it is organic and not forced).

Cons

Working at a start-up is going to always have certain cons. First, a company is started and as it grows, the structure is built. This can be troubling when looking for set in stone career path. Virool doesn't have a career path fully set, but is something being ironed out everyday. The next thing is most people don't work a typical 9-5 job. In a start up, there is always more to do or things to fix. This means, on occasion, people work late nights and weekends to make sure everything is working smoothly. Luckily, the people around you can make any long night feel a lot shorter.

Pros

Virool is a great place to work. It has its own culture, and not all people can thrive within it. But if you share the vision and like to fight obstacles, you will have a lot of fun here! Alex is a great leader and really cares about Viroolians. He has his own style, which is focused on execution and progress. He does not like when people create doubt for themselves because that triggers doubt for everybody. It is like disease that spreads fast, and Alex wants Viroolians to be happy and embrace his vision. Some people fail to work under his leadership, which I don’t see as bad. It is silly to think that there is one culture for all. Look at Steve Jobs. Even Wozniak struggled working with him. But that’s what created Apple’s DNA and the multibillion business. Virool has a really cool mission and a great potential to become a multibillion dollar company. I just don't get people who complain about their experiences because they want to have it all without doing anything… start with yourself and stay humble.

Cons

2016 was a year of refocusing which resulted in high employee turnover, but the company is past that.
