Pros

You get to do a lot within a short period of time (because you basically work around the clock). The product is valuable.

Cons

Working at Via was the most traumatic employment experience of my life. Disrespect from the management and the senior employees, many people are arrogant. Approach of “do and then think” rather then “think and then do” which causes working a few iterations on the same feature. Lots of drama, people argue a lot, there is often lack of coordination between product managers which has a bad reflection on developers' work. Culture is terrible, I've seen many cases involving different people, where employees hurt each others' feeling and shame in public. Management does not have respect for the employees’ personal time, you are expected to be available to do work around the clock. And there's always stress.

Pros

Incredibly supportive management. Extremely healthy work environment. Company culture is top notch. Benefits are well above market average. Using PTO is encouraged, and when on PTO general duties are handled by supportive coworkers.

Cons

Extremely fast-paced environment. Real-time issues can arise, and can be stressful to resolve. Remote work can feel isolating, however, managers and coworkers are extremely easy to reach.

Pros

Most people you work with are nice, PTO is respected.

Cons

No strategy to speak of, the product is not good other than the acquisitions. Customers are treated poorly. C-suite is extremely tone deaf. Decisions come randomly from above with no bearing on what people are doing. There is no review cycle on purpose, the only people who get raises have other offers so many people are leaving. Which is a good idea because the stock price is down so all RSUs are underwater. Most teams are horribly overworked and underpaid and the one day a week lunch is getting worse.
