Proceed with caution: You’ll learn a lot but it comes with an extreme price. - Anonymous employee VSC Employee Review

Thank you for your candor and specific details about your experience at VSC. We’re glad to hear that you learned a lot and will be able to advance your career because of it! By design, we’ve structured the agency to align with the way our clients in early stage tech companies work. This means our team has the chance to learn what they won’t learn in other places until much later in their career. It isn’t always easy and requires a willingness to fail and try again. We strive to have policies in place that create a supportive culture for this, but also acknowledge that it isn’t an environment that fits everyone. We encourage our team to celebrate their backgrounds and perspectives so that we can all have a richer understanding of the world. We don’t specifically seek out our BIPOC team members or expect any one group of people to do the heavy lifting of educating the world about their experiences. Contrary to more traditional thinking, we believe HR/performance is best handled in every day feedback loops between employees and their leads and direct managers. In addition, each of our five Partners are available to support any team member with guidance on internal or external issues. They work across 3 time zones so that someone can always be reached. Our Head of People is there to create policies that champion our team’s needs and hold us all accountable for reaching our individual and collective goals.
