Virta reviews

After spending a few years working at Virta, I've come to realize a lot of executives and senior managers are willing and ready to throw others under the bus to protect themselves quite often. Attrition of tenured staff seems to be a growing problem that HR can't wrap their hands around. They've also been actively asking new hires to put up reviews to help pad their glassdoor numbers. It seems pretty common for folks to come in being very excited about the mission/product and grind away for years and then end up, leaving very unsatisfied, realizing it was a lot of smoke and mirrors. I do think the CEO has good intentions but I believe the other C level executives are working hard to protect themselves and they're close knit circles, even if that means hurting others and the business in the long run. There's also a lot of silos surprisingly for such a young (startup) company where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and then the finger pointing starts. Usually the loudest executive gets their way and shifts the blame to some other team, who has little to no control with what they're actually having problems with in the first place. In the past, I would have recommended Virta as a great place to work, nowadays not so much.

Leadership team is filled with people who are good executers but horrible leaders.
