Pros

- Small but mighty team (especially on the marketing side) which gives us the flexibility to choose from several possible initiatives and further develop my career - Can move really fast on new ideas that make an impact almost immediately - Our customers love the product and are willing to provide feedback to make it even better - Incredibly dedicated, smart, and fun people to work with (even when joining remotely during these Covid times) - Christina, Vanta CEO, has been very thoughtful about how she's grown the business and has been as transparent and inclusive as a founder can be throughout the journey

Cons

- So busy at times that it can be hard to remember to relax and get to know your fellow employees as people - Young company = growth problems. To be expected at a startup and it's just part of the process.

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.
