Pros

Vanta ticked all the boxes for me in my job search. The company's mission to secure consumer data on the internet leads to a positive impact on the world, Vanta's business is growing like crazy (profitable!), and the team is talented and kind. I couldn't have asked to join a better working environment. Given how quickly our business is growing, each week brings a new, exciting challenge. I'm learning and growing and developing my skills along the way, and I'm excited to be here.

Cons

Our rapid growth brings new and different challenges each day, which is to be expected. A company needs to evolve to keep pace with its growth, and Vanta is doing a remarkable job managing these growing pains compared to other places I've worked.

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

* Remote-first culture with flexibility. * Competitive market-rate compensation.

Cons

* **Too many layers of management.** There are excessive management layers that often create bottlenecks and encourage micromanagement instead of empowering employees to better serve customers and build great products. * **Lack of investment in IC.** Many teams remain understaffed, resulting in consistently high workloads. Burnout is common, and employees are frequently expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their role and pay band without recognition. * **"Flexible PTO" doesn't feel truly flexible.** While the company advertises flexible PTO, in practice there appears to be an informal limit/fake. Taking around three weeks or more of PTO can draw leadership attention, and it can feel like using the benefit may negatively affect performance reviews, even when work expectations are met. This discourages employees from taking the time off they need to recharge.
