CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Vicarious treats the employees great. Good work life balance, company outings and trips, good perks, great food. They also take good care of employees when the employee has difficulties outside of work

Cons

Long term vision changed significantly from when I started to when I left. Very focused on one possible technological solution at the detriment of other, more proven technologies.
