Pros

- Working with talented colleagues; - Experience in an international company.

Cons

- Toxic work environment where people are overworked, undervalued and not fairly compensated; - "Your work is your family" mindset is part of this toxic environment that makes people work a lot of extra hours; - People are seriously underpaid and there are a lot of salary discrepancies. Some areas and some people in the company get a lot for what they do, but that is not the reality of the people I've worked with. In fact, since the new COO joined, a lot of people are leaving VTEX for not being recognised, paid fairly and valued (these are also the reasons that made me quit); - Unfortunately the new leadership (COO) only cares about numbers and her own external reputation, and not people which is highly unmotivating. It's frustrating to see people who work so hard and give so much to the company being exploited by the leadership; - Some people I've worked with suffered from burnouts and didn't get the support they needed; - The company is also very disorganized, there is lack of planning which results in the culture of "everything is for yesterday". This causes a lot of unnecessary stress and I think results could be way higher quality if well planned; - People are unable to grow professionally because of all the reasons mentioned above; - I sincerely hope the leadership changes and that VTEX becomes the company it promises to be (fair, inclusive, bold, disruptive in the tech industry). These are the values that made me join the company and that unfortunately were broken; - With all of this I would not recommend VTEX to anyone. Know your worth and fight for what you deserve! I speak from my experience but I also worked with a lot of people from different countries and can verify this is not an isolated case or office or area.

Probably the worst company I've ever worked for

Pros

The people are nice. Or at least they were, before they were fired en masse.

Cons

- The leadership is all over the place, and they sometimes seem to be flipping a coin before deciding who to fire next; - Unhealthy idea that everybody at the company needs to become an engineer; - The product is not ready for the European market, and the higher ups don't seem to really care (no timeline in place for local product enhancements); - Clueless team management, where people are moved from one functional team to another with no real logic behind it (I saw someone having 5 completely different roles within one year, without ever asking personally to change team); - Arrogant approach to the market - just because you are a market leader back at home in Brazil, that doesn't make you automatically one in Europe. Bad attitude towards the market, "God complex" of "they would be lucky to be our clients" (spoiler alert, it doesn't work).
