VTEX reviews

- 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).

The amount of work can get overwhelming for some specific team members, due to ever increasing responsibilities. This does not happen to everyone - and that may be the problem. For backend developers, emergency calls may happen from time to time. Reducing their frequency may be part of your job. Dealing with stress is necessary, but nothing out of this world.
