Pros

Some friendly and smart people. Good location, free coffee. Good work life balance. Once you've proven yourself to your team, you can usually learn something new/take on new projects.

Cons

Salaries are way below market. Despite the slick PR sin, Vend is a long way from becoming a profitable and even viable business. Lack of clear strategy and direction from Exec. Really poor internal communications, despite the confusing multitude of comms tools. Non-existent team and individual goals, resulting in little accountability. Inexperienced mid to senior management, most of whom have been promoted based upon tenure. You need to be part of the "cool in-crowd' to get anywhere with your career.

Pros

This company has a legit chance of becoming the best in the world at what we do, which is super inspiring and makes you jump out of bed in the morning to get to work. The projects and opportunities available to you are endless, and you can really rise within the company to whatever you're capable of.

Cons

The pace at Vend is super fast, so if you're not on the ball and on top of your game then you can get left behind. Also, you'll need to adapt well to change as the company is growing rapidly.
