Pros

- B2B SaaS experience - Macbook Pro - Office cafeteria

Cons

- No growth for PMs - No PM culture, it's all driven by technical decisions. Therefore the platform UX/UI is from 2001. - Too many HIPPOs - Decisions are made based on "Who's right", not "What's right" - PM management arguments decisions with "Isn't it crazy?!" type of arguments. No qualitative or quantitative data to support those arguments. - Be ready to be blamed a lot - Lack of agility, no rapid experiments. For a simple hypothesis, you gotta write tons documentation, msgs for alignment. - EMs justify devs having low productivity, saying it's fine to carry over stories to the next sprints and take absolutely no action when devs work on 2-3 point stories for weeks! - Tons of layoffs, restructurings, outsourcing to offshore - No Slack for messaging

Pros

Vendasta has a ton of very smart and driven people, I feel inspired and motivated every day working with this team. The product is making great advancements, and it's exciting to market such an innovative solution with very loyal partners. I've learned a lot working here and have had an overall positive experience.

Cons

Benefits for US employees could be better compared to US-based companies. With multiple acquisitions, working for various products can get overwhelming / priorities shift a lot - must be comfortable with a fast-paced environment.

This is such a thoughtful review. Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re lucky to have a team full of smart, driven people! It's great to hear that the energy and collaboration are having such a strong impact. We agree that it's exciting to see where our platform is going especially as we develop and implement AI solutions! It's true acquisitions bring a lot of change and we work in a fast-paced environment. It's not for everyone but those who enjoy working here, thrive in it! We appreciate the feedback on US benefits. We’re actively reviewing how we support all team members globally and will continue working to raise the bar. Thanks for everything you’ve contributed over the past few years.
