Pros

They reel you in with a fancy office, free lunches, and a hope that there is focus on building an actual product. Unfortunately this is all for show. Upper management just wants to sell, sell, sell above everything. This is the case, even if that means disregarding the product's state, team and its progress.

Cons

Company and product goals change almost daily according to who they're talking to. There is no focus or time given towards building the product first, but there is an insistent need to keep trying to sell (a product that they don't yet have.) Promises are made to brands by management and marketing, resulting in intense pressure for the teams and eventually disappointing outcomes for everyone. The company bends to whoever and whatever they can get, forcing the team to back peddle and make major changes within extremely short deadlines. Basically there is no backbone at all for the product. Vixlet is less a tech startup, and more like a circus promising to provide random services (even if they have to lie about it.)

Pros

Great people who are passionate about what they do and who love working with each other. Amazing connections with amazing companies Not afraid to try new things and push the envelope

Cons

At times can be a little all over place, but I think they are working on that. Sometimes app is confusing, but I think that happens when trying new things.

Pros

Vixlet has some great people not just technically but personally too. That is the only reason why people are still working at Vixlet Vixlet has a product that can become big with right leadership and direction. There is not much to do so you can get a job and get paid to relax. That is a very good benefit. There are some employees doing exactly that and getting paid.

Cons

- Leadership. - Leader are condescending to the team. - No transparency with the management. - Fake promises. - Even the Vixlet employees do not know how to use the product, because they don't care about it. Even the employees are not passionate about the product.
