Pros

* Genuinely kind and caring people, from leadership on down * Fast paced work, with strong respect for life outside of work (rarely work nights, never work weekends) * High caliber colleagues * While product takes lead, engineering and design are empowered * Transparent about company performance * Very low politics, honestly none in the engineering/product/design realm * Challenging, interesting problems * High ownership culture * Generally, well run and well lead

Cons

* While teams are very open to collaborating, work tends to be rather siloed within teams and then orgs * There is a lot happening at once, so your plate will be full and you need to be good at prioritizing

Pros

Phenomenal people, interesting work, and (usually) challenging in a good way. Company is finally focusing on going deep & wide with its approach to improving the offering instead of just wide. Starting to feel more like a genuine security company rather than a customer acquisition company that happens to sell a security product on the side. And even at this stage of that transition its already a noticeably and significantly more robust offering than competitors. I may not agree with all decisions (who ever does?) but I do have faith backed by plenty of evidence that the Sr leaders making them are competent and capable which goes a long way to staying engaged.

Cons

Ive survived multiple internal restructures, 1-2 rounds of RIFs, multiple overnights, huge amounts of project and team thrash, and some absolutely bonkers deadlines and expectations for teams/people that are completely unprepared to meet them. The company is now old enough for The Peter Principle to be starting to show up. Its not horrible, and not in my BU, but I see it. Almost everything bad you have heard about hyper-growth VC backed bay are startups can be (or is) true at Vanta. Workload, office politics, high expectations with iffy rewards, inconsistent management, chasing shiny things, etc. The saving grace to that is that leadership knows and usually tries to address the issues proactively instead of ignoring them.
