Pros

Amazing culture and people - Some of the smartest, most thoughtful, and passionate group of people I've ever worked with! Even though nearly most of the company joined and on-boarded remotely, every team member makes themselves accessible when needed, and strives to create and continuously maintain an inclusive and welcoming workspace. Exciting product - We truly are pioneers in the SOC 2 auditing process with still so much opportunity and potential as to where Vanta can further expand and create in the security & compliance space. Leadership - To have the opportunity to work at a female-led saas company is a rarity in the tech space, and Christina has made working alongside her such an incredible experience so far. She is the most approachable CEO I have ever met and always makes herself available to offer assistance, feedback, and general support when needed.

Cons

Joining a company at this stage (< 50 people) is not for everyone, there are some of the typical "growing pain" of an early-stage startup as the company continues to implement or ierate upon various processes, tools, or best practices.

Pros

Everyone is friendly and nice to you, but only on the outside

Cons

- CRO Stevie is extremely toxic and cult-like leading the revenue team - Not culturally diverse, mostly white people, and they discriminate. - Hypocrite culture, friendly only on the outside, but when you turn your back, they will either stab you or not do what they say.

Pros

Strong, compelling product Advanced technology stack Great learning opportunities Competitive compensation

Cons

The onboarding process was poorly structured, leaving new employees with minimal guidance, inadequate support, and the expectation to independently navigate complex tasks across multiple teams. The organizational culture tends to prioritize individual performance over teamwork. Employees are explicitly discouraged from seeking peer assistance, severely limiting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and collective problem-solving. Performance management often relies heavily on negative reinforcement and job security threats, creating excessive stress and anxiety rather than motivating genuine improvement. This approach undermines employee confidence, negatively affects mental health, and impacts personal well-being. Managers often lack the necessary skills or willingness to provide real mentorship or empathetic guidance. Superficial mentoring combined with unrealistic short-term expectations frequently leaves employees feeling unsupported and set up to fail. Decisions affecting projects and responsibilities are frequently made without adequately informing or involving the relevant employees, leading to frustration, confusion, and reduced productivity. Employees are frequently advised not to ask colleagues for help, but instead directed toward AI tools—under the questionable assumption that AI systems inherently possess detailed knowledge of internal processes, organizational context, and proprietary code.
