Pros

The company is a market leader and way ahead of its competition - creates lots of energy and never-ending technological challenges and innovations - in scale, in features, and in new product launches. The mission of making transportation accessible for low-income communities, school kids and people with disabilities is truly inspiring. The technology stack is mostly based on Python, AWS, Serverless/K8s, React. The company and management are making huge efforts to constantly improve efficiency, code quality, and scalability.

Cons

Via is a high-paced workplace, there's always a lot to do - business growth, new launches, support and maintenance. This load can be pressuring at times. There's never a dull moment - for the good and for the bad. It can be challenging to find room to invest in tech debt, re-architecture and infrastructure - although this has recently started to change with more scale-up coming.

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.
