Pros

Getting started was easy enough, and I’ll give them that — the entry process is smooth, the staff is friendly, and the new logo is actually a nice upgrade. The building has a certain retro charm, but mostly just feels tired and outdated. Parking’s decent, if you’re lucky. Overall, Viridien feels more like a missed opportunity than a modern experience. Some nice touches, but not enough to earn more than two stars from me.

Cons

DEI is surface-level at best – The company talks the talk, but in practice, inclusion feels selective. It's a great place… if you're a white man or woman. Racism still exists in subtle — and sometimes not-so-subtle — ways, with little accountability. Toxic internal politics – Advancement often depends more on who you know than what you contribute. Work-life balance is poor – Long hours are quietly expected, and boundaries aren’t respected. Lack of team spirit – Collaboration feels forced, and genuine support between colleagues is rare. Sketchy layoff practices – Transparency is low, and decisions around terminations often feel arbitrary or pre-decided. Leadership hypocrisy – Values preached at the top aren't practiced day-to-day. Disappointing for a company with a female CEO – You’d expect better leadership on equity, but the reality doesn’t match the image.
