Pros

Great product, happy customers, supportive leadership. There is a "win together, lose together" mindset at VAST. If you need help, all levels of leadership (sales & engineering) support you. There have been numerous times when our CEO & Co-founders have created features to meet specific customer needs. My manager always tells me, "This is VAST. The answer is never NO." & I have seen this firsthand. Some people may complain that there aren't super rigid processes like other, more mature companies, but I see this as a pro to get creative. -Engineering is filled with some of the greatest minds -flexible travel budget: this is huge when you're a seller. At previous companies, my quota would grow but my budget would shrink. -Marketing: Our marketing team is phenomenal, so many unique intimate experiences for customers that truly create revenue. I hope this is an area we continue to invest in!

Cons

-We have no SDRs, ISR's so the expectation is to do all things on your own from the sales side. Often times I am wearing multiple hats but I knew this coming in.

Pros

Customer Support are literal superheroes keeping the product alive. Cool tech and vision.

Cons

Terrible pay compared to industry. Terrible quotas (15% of the company made quota, they cancelled club 2x in a row) Product stability No HR / employee support Terrible benefits. Many people use their spouse’s benefits. Stock grants are garbage now. Are we ever going to IPO? “We’re not a hardware company” and we don’t get paid on HW except our entire lives revolve around it. Zero postsales support. You’d better like living in a datacenter, doing your own installs, and everything. They love playing games with expenses.
