Pros

Flexibility and friendly coworkers. Excludes management. You can become a manager or director without any prior experience or knowledge in that area.

Cons

High tech software company with low tech budgets. Penny pinch practices to the extreme. Best for management minimum for everyone else. Managers motto. Keep Susan happy or keep management happy. Convince over security. High turnovers. Salaries based on education not experience. Every job that is not above Management is under compensated. Ask your employees their current salary? It's frown upon to ask. Guess the reason why? Can't ask for a raise based on an excellent employee review. You can excel but not compensated for your contributions. Executives get 10-30x bonuses based on business performance while employees get 1-3% bonus based on individual performances. You get a Christmas gift or sweatshirt for Christmas. Benefits suck. Stock options only offered to some employees. Probably determined on how much they like you. Only executives are set to become wealthy if company sells. Management tell employees they are family, not true. They'll throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. You only matter while they need something from you. Policies only affect non-management employees. "Voluntary" is not voluntary. Management has to approve it.

Pros

The atmosphere at VIDA can't be beat. If you are fresh out of college, you dont understand how great it is until you have experienced other employers and realize how rare it is to have such a great team. Management will bend over backwards to make sure employees are taken care of, for the benefit of the employee and the company. Everyone who works at VIDA is hardworking and great to be around. We all know the difference we are making in the real world, and are passionate about making that difference.

Cons

It is a small company, so while there are great advantages to that, there are also drawbacks. We have to wear multiple hats because there is not a separate person for each specific task like you would see in a huge corporation.
