Pros

Benefits are good. Some people are friendly and nice (the ones who get taken advantage of). Work life balance is okay. Some projects are interesting.

Cons

There are numerous issues here. A select group of individuals wield excessive power, dictating the course of events and determining job roles and campaign strategies. Anyone who disagrees with them, you’re done for. If you’re not in their “group,” you’re also done for. On top of that, these individuals lack the necessary knowledge and expertise. They don’t know what they say and do, they just constantly talk about topics that make them sound good. Instead of learning and growing, they delegate tasks to those below them, leading them astray and then blaming them for the resulting confusion. They bring their high and mighty ego, if you upset them. I gotten yelled at and treated very unprofessionally in this workplace for disagreeing with their idea. They also expect employees to perform tasks beyond their jobs. One of people who have power is HR. HR has an overbearing influence and dictatorship- told me once exactly what to do in order to get on their “good side.” Nothing is stable here. Everything is constantly changing- structure, culture, and purpose of meetings. As a person that came from start-ups, this company changes structure so often which leads to a lot of confusions. Never been to a more toxic workplace in my life. Never hated a workplace because of the people. It shows through the high turnover rates- every good people are leaving because there’s a clear hierarchy in power and not enough support. Don’t take the negatives reviews lightly here.

Pros

Friendly staff and benefits package is good.

Cons

This place is a revolving door with people. The issue is that the company direction is constantly changing or unclear for people working stateside. There is a cultural divide and lack of understanding between the HQ in China and the US. Amazon is giving the priority which makes sense since it makes a ton of money but other departments who are trying to make change just feel defeated.

Pros

Excellent benefits. Slightly above-average pay for some roles. While these are in fact pros, they’re also the perfect golden handcuffs. So, before signing, ask yourself: “Are those handcuffs good enough to justify jeopardizing your mental health?”. Because that’s what will happen to you over at VeSync brands.

Cons

C-Suite: Micromanaging yet also out-of-touch with the American consumer. A scalable campaign pitch was killed because the CEO assessed it by reading a marketing book from 2018 (a.k.a. Pre-Pandemic – that alone should tell you a lot). Senior Management: Ego wars instead of leadership. Very little interest in elevating capable, existing staff with career development and training opportunities. HR: A bureaucratic blocker where it shouldn’t be, and is mostly absent where it should be active. Also: Free boba tea is not a culture strategy. Marketing: A PowerPoint factory with no original thinking (The Campaign Manager’s ChatGPT sparring with the decision-maker ChatGPT passed off as strategy). Every campaign planning gets reworked endlessly, not out of perfectionism but out of an inability to make a credible decision (and way too many cooks in the kitchen). Product: Ships at all costs, overpromises capabilities, skips certifications, then disappears post-launch. Marketing inherits the mess every time, then gets blame for a product’s failure (what else is new I guess?). Overall: A $1B CPG company without any kind of proper SOPs at any level or leadership at most levels. Don’t expect promotions or raises (not even a cost-of-living adjustment, at a billion-dollar company…). There’s no formal structure for either. Cherry on top: Five days on-site to justify an expensive lease.
