Pros

I have been extremely fortunate to have an opportunity to work at Virool. This is definitely one of the fastest growing startups in Silicon Valley and our family is growing by 2-3 Viroolians a week. Given this rapid rate of growth, the founders have done a great job at making everyone feel like they are part of one family. The culture is very transparent, honest and ethical. I do feel like the management wants me to grow and give my best work on the daily basis. It's been a dream come true to work at Virool at this stage. If you've seen "The Social Network", in some ways it reminds me of that.

Cons

There are a lot of changes happening: process, job responsibilities, on the sales side (quota, territory, etc.), product and others. It's frustrating at times to have to keep adjusting to these rapid changes, but I guess that's part of the journey. If you are the kind of person that likes a ton of structure and doesn't like flexibility in their role, this may not be the right fit. Things are changing constantly here and I know at times this could rub some people in the wrong way.

Pros

Virool is a great place to work. It has its own culture, and not all people can thrive within it. But if you share the vision and like to fight obstacles, you will have a lot of fun here! Alex is a great leader and really cares about Viroolians. He has his own style, which is focused on execution and progress. He does not like when people create doubt for themselves because that triggers doubt for everybody. It is like disease that spreads fast, and Alex wants Viroolians to be happy and embrace his vision. Some people fail to work under his leadership, which I don’t see as bad. It is silly to think that there is one culture for all. Look at Steve Jobs. Even Wozniak struggled working with him. But that’s what created Apple’s DNA and the multibillion business. Virool has a really cool mission and a great potential to become a multibillion dollar company. I just don't get people who complain about their experiences because they want to have it all without doing anything… start with yourself and stay humble.

Cons

2016 was a year of refocusing which resulted in high employee turnover, but the company is past that.
