Pros

you will have a new found appreciation working for any other company that is not Vangst.

Cons

the most toxic work environment I've ever experienced. everything is covered up with, "#startuplife" there are a few talented, hard working employees but ultimately the vibe is every person for themselves. work/life balance is what you make of it, they definitely want you to eat, breathe and sleep recruitment services. if you're going to accept their offer, get in, make connections and GTFO.
