Pros

None. There are a few people worth working for here, but not many.

Cons

The CEO seems to enjoy calling people out in slack. Comments like ‘I literally do not care what anyone says’ and ‘I’m happy to take the time to Google that for you’ are among the kinder things he’s said to people. Engineering is a good team but most talent there have moved on. The CISO can’t seem to hold a team together because she micromanages across topic areas she has little practical experience. Product is busy trying to build half-baked solutions because, to no fault of their own, they take instruction from leaders who have zero experience in the areas they are trying to build solutions for. Leadership flows from the top down, good or bad, and you can see that in how miserable it is to work here and why so many qualified and competent people left.

Pros

- Strong company vision for short and long term future - Decisive and experienced leadership team - If you work hard, fail forward, and adapt to the changing payments landscape you will be successful at VGS (in any role). - Autonomous work structure, no overbearing managers - Promote from within mentality, and lots of room to shine for high performers - Performance over politics - Horizontal Career mobility opportunities (EX: not interested in sales anymore, more so account management) - Fight for each other culture, everyone clearly has each others back and will support one another even if outside their job responsibilities - Best in class product trusted by the largest brands - Great benefits across medical, dental, vision, 401K match, etc - Equity for employees

Cons

- High expectations as a lean company - Hybrid near offices recommended. - "get you work done" versus 9 to 5 (could be a con to some people) - Learning curve for both payments and security that will require lean in from the employee to become well-versed.
