Pros

There really wasn't anything I would consider a "Pro" outside of the people.

Cons

Massive disconnect with management and the lower employees. The only people that are actually valued are the top management and also the reasons for the missed revenue targets. While the company was hiring new employees from India and the main office in Canada, they simultaneously held layoffs that I was part of. I was laid off one week into the pay cycle and only given one week of severance so they could remain cheap. After doing additional research on the company, they seem to have a round of layoffs about every 6 months for cost saving reasons. Unfortunately, Vendasta is a company that fits the stereotypical corporate culture. The problematic managers are kept while the employees that work hard are let go.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were part of a layoff; that is never the direction we want to take. The tech industry landscape is evolving, and unfortunately, we have had to make some difficult decisions recently to adapt and remain competitive. We are committed to navigating these challenges while making thoughtful decisions that align with our commitment to growing the company and keeping our employees' best interests at heart. We are continually striving to improve communication and management practices. We have programs like VLead, our mentorship program, and the Leadership Academy to train our managers and ensure they can support their teams effectively. Your input is important to us, and we will take it into consideration as we strive to create a better work environment for all Vendastians. Thank you for your contributions throughout your time here. Best of luck in the future.

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.

We agree that we have a highly talented and innovative team here, and we're incredibly excited about the things they are building! We're disappointed to hear that our culture wasn't what you had hoped for. We take great pride in our culture and work hard to ensure Vendasta is a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone to learn, grow, and thrive. As for our leadership, they are highly experienced and confidently steering us in the right direction. While we appreciate all feedback, it’s a bit tough to address such a broad critique without any context. If there were specific moments where you felt we missed the mark, our inbox is always open. Thanks for your feedback! Wishing you all the best for the future.
