Pros

At first - orientation was thrilling, the company was amazing/breathtaking, the people were even better!

Cons

Management and above are horrible. Low diversity as far as backgrounds go, considering many in management came from Disneyland. VG has been hemorrhaging money since January 2022. Mass layoffs in November 2023. CEO sent out a blast email laying off 18% of workforce, then walked around the floor to see how people were reacting to his email. All about company politics, they'll keep you if they like you, not if you perform well. They don't want to hear your opinions and will punish you if you disagree with them. They are the furthest thing from transparent and honest, will lie straight to your face. Having this company on my resume looks good, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as a serious career move. Work here if you just want something temporary to boost your resume, don't consider it as a lifetime career.
