Vanta reviews

Vanta definitely has a high performance bar and people work really hard. To be expected since it's a start up, but it's not a place you come to if you want to cruise. Everyone is pulling their own weight. And certain teams are really on top of performance management, so you'll know quickly whether you'll do well here and can hang long term. On the other hand, if you're a top performer, you'll be able to move up quickly and be rewarded generously without having to go through a bunch of politics or bureaucracy. + teammates are genuinely happy for each others' successes. It's very much a meritocracy, and you get from Vanta what you put into Vanta. Not for everyone, but if you want to grow, fast track your career and put in the work, there's no better place to be.

There is a growing perception of severe salary compression among tenured employees. Many individuals who materially contributed to building the company have seen compensation progression lag behind both external market rates and internal hiring trends. As a result, experienced employees increasingly feel compelled to pursue outside opportunities simply to reach appropriate market compensation. Compounding this is a cultural perception that these departures are treated dismissively rather than as indicators of deeper retention concerns, which risks further eroding trust among long-tenured high performers.
