Pros

If you enjoy the foosball atmosphere and bro culture you'll probably fit in here. Some neat perks like free food Thurs/Fri, social committee plans some events, etc. Some interesting problems being solved.

Cons

Very easy to feel like an outsider. Raises are not transparent, firings with no cause, etc. Cliquey. If you don't fit in prepare to feel like you are intruding. Hugely obsessed with themselves, can't seem to go a day without being informed by management how great the place is. No real feel for direction, and the Friday meetings often felt really repetitive.

Thanks for the feedback. As we grow it is harder and harder for me to make personal connections with everyone on the team. I am especially sad to hear that you feel like an outsider and that we were unable to convey our vision and transfer the excitement. If your status is indeed correct, and you truly are still employed at Vendasta (and only say this because your use of the past tense "felt") please reach out to me or Jean. I would love to better understand how we could find a way to rekindle your enthusiasm. Life if way to short to not enjoy coming to work everyday. :)

Pros

Vendasta has a ton of very smart and driven people, I feel inspired and motivated every day working with this team. The product is making great advancements, and it's exciting to market such an innovative solution with very loyal partners. I've learned a lot working here and have had an overall positive experience.

Cons

Benefits for US employees could be better compared to US-based companies. With multiple acquisitions, working for various products can get overwhelming / priorities shift a lot - must be comfortable with a fast-paced environment.

This is such a thoughtful review. Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re lucky to have a team full of smart, driven people! It's great to hear that the energy and collaboration are having such a strong impact. We agree that it's exciting to see where our platform is going especially as we develop and implement AI solutions! It's true acquisitions bring a lot of change and we work in a fast-paced environment. It's not for everyone but those who enjoy working here, thrive in it! We appreciate the feedback on US benefits. We’re actively reviewing how we support all team members globally and will continue working to raise the bar. Thanks for everything you’ve contributed over the past few years. We’re so glad you’re part of the journey!

We agree that we have a highly talented and innovative team here, and we're incredibly excited about the things they are building! We're disappointed to hear that our culture wasn't what you had hoped for. We take great pride in our culture and work hard to ensure Vendasta is a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone to learn, grow, and thrive. As for our leadership, they are highly experienced and confidently steering us in the right direction. While we appreciate all feedback, it’s a bit tough to address such a broad critique without any context. If there were specific moments where you felt we missed the mark, our inbox is always open. Thanks for your feedback! Wishing you all the best for the future.
