Pros

Mostly good people. Flex work hours. Unlimited PTO. Interesting work+industry.

Cons

No strategic thinkers in exec leadership. Almost no diversity in exec leadership. Product team is the long pole and has been for months. No real approach to making company shifts. Culture changing for the worse. No 401k match.

Pros

- The autonomy and independence. There’s an innate trust that permeates the company culture — you get your work done, and you are golden. - The people are incredible. Working for a tech company can be nerve wracking knowing you’re surrounded by brilliance, but the folks here are all kind and I have never been made to feel like I’m naive or less-than despite not having a technical background. - You learn a ton. Virtru is a fast-paced, relatively small company. Even if you’re experienced, you will likely learn new skills and be given new tasks you need to learn to do on your own. It’s an incredible space for growth and development. - You are encouraged to grow and keep getting better at what you do, and you’re given the opportunity to do so. - HR and People Operations really seem to care about you. Not just as an employee, but as a person. I feel like I am heard as an employee and fostered as an individual. - The Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DE&I) effort has been tangible. Results can be slow to come to fruition at times, but that’s natural. Change doesn't happen overnight. Gaps are being recognized and actively addressed, and issues such as a lack of diversity at the top will take a long time to solve. But the effort is real, and it’s not just lip service. - Flexibility. You are encouraged to do what is best for you and to advocate for yourself here. - Flexible PTO policy. At Virtru, work doesn’t always come first. Management recognizes that we are human beings with personal lives and other priorities. - Processes are ever changing. This sounds like a con, but it’s actually a huge pro. Management and HR take initiative and listen when improvements need to be made, and if change is possible, they try hard to make it. - Transparency regarding company direction, successes, and failures (when applicable) in the past year and a half has been much improved. Not perfect, but the effort is tangible. - Compensation is more than fair.

Cons

- Some big decisions can take time to get approval, which can be frustrating. - Some directional flip-flopping goes on frequently, especially in engineering. Virtru is an agile environment, which is a huge plus, but it can still take a toll on folks.

Good team but culture needs improvement

Pros

Virtru employs smart, passionate individuals. Work life balance is excellent and you are encouraged to work your own schedule (around meetings of course). As someone who was always remote, the culture definitely supports you with flexibility and the response to covid was very well thought out and everyone is very understanding of new extenuating circumstances. The product makes a difference, especially now, and has a promising future as a saas product. New product team is excellent. The company is making a concerted DEI effort. Leaders have improved transparency over the past year to the benefit of the organization and everyone has a sense of ownership in their role.

Cons

Execs hire their friends, former direct reports, or someone referred to them without much regard for the proper process and vetting. This has worked out both positively and negatively in the past. Mostly negatively as it creates a culture issue. Pay is relatively low (I’m not buying the startup excuse) but not terrible. no 401k match, and no performance review process (and therefore no professional development or clear raise/promotion process). Hard to see a future at this company but you can easily coast for now if that’s your thing. If you can’t handle a lack of process/direction, Virtru isn’t for you.
