Pros
- Having had experience with a startup in the past that was actually toxic and ended up going out of business, I've experienced first hand how unorganized, unprofessional, and flat out terrible life at a company and a startup in general, can be. I can say honestly since day 1 here, it has been a complete 180 from what I'd experienced with other companies and teams in the past.
- Vori truly does walk the walk when it comes to company culture. They care about their teams think and do their best to be as transparent as they can be, whilst remaining in the appropriate confines of information that they are allowed to release. For a 100% remote company, it's been really impressive to see the teams succeed, the company improve, and build comradery better than most companies that still have on-site operations. The environment could literally not be further away from a toxic environment if they tried. They take very seriously their efforts on inclusion and spotlight for team members of all different backgrounds. The diversity in the team says it all.
- Vori understands that company & team success is built by it's people and from everything I have witnessed first hand, they don't seem to half-ass this effort at all. Even went so far as to create an anonymous feedback channel within Slack so everyone in the org feels empowered to be blunt, honest, and ask tough questions without fear of repercussions.
- They have made it a point to ensure that there is a great work/life balance for everyone.
- 100% remote
- C-Suite members are note-worthy, proven, care about the culture they are building
- Tons of exciting developments announced
- No company is perfect, but as someone who has experienced some good companies & horrific companies from both an entry-level perspective AND a management perspective, I can tell you confidently that I have never been with an organization that quickly frankly, has their crap together like Vori does, top to bottom.
Cons
- As with any startup, there will be changes and many things are fluid. Especially when you're a startup trying to navigate process and keep a business afloat during a pandemic and a recession. All while doing so 100% remotely. I would guess that most of the negative reviews are unfair, heat-of-the-moment responses to some of these tough changes.
If you are thinking about joining Vori, it is a decision that you will not regret and I could not recommend this organization enough.
