Pros
1. Hybrid and remote work options 2. As long as the management likes you, they will overlook any incompetent behaviour or failure on your part. 3. Paradoxically, there are a lot of competent professionals among employees in non-managerial positions. 4. From those, you can definitely learn a thing or two.
Cons
1. The company is a boys club. If they have a chance to exclude you, they will. Managers fail over and over, but they're palls, so you will be blamed. 2. Strategy changes on a bi-weekly basis. Projects are always abandoned midway. 3. As soon as something is successful, the company stops supporting it. 4. Pay equality and transparency? Forget about it. There are no tiers, no grades. There is no salary policy and review. They will pay you more if they like you. If you're not in favour with the management, there's nothing that would make them give you a raise. 5. Working at Vivid, you risk losing your skills. Since the company is always understaffed, there are very few teams where people do what they were hired for. In general, the company's tactics is to suck employees dry and make them leave to hire new ones. They don't even pretend to care about their employees, and the HR is fairly incompetent. If you come to raise a complaint about a manager or a situation, the HR will just gaslight you. In a nutshell, if you a have thick skin and nowhere else to go, you can stay at Vivid. However, keep in mind that Vivid will underpay you and screw you at every opportunity within legal boundaries: agreements will be disregarded, but not legally binding obligations.
