Pros

The product addresses an important need for companies. More and more companies are investing in identity so what Veza offers is top of mind. The product and engineering teams move fast. Good marketing even for a small company. All remote if that’s what you prefer. Competitive salary.

Cons

The product is almost too advanced for people to grasp quickly. It’s not intuitive for people who aren’t familiar with the space, even amongst security leaders. The real con here is that it takes a lot of time for new sales hires to onboard. A lot of good sellers have come and gone and struggled because it’s hard to concisely describe the product. The company needs clear direction, and that starts from the top. Too many changes in priorities makes it tough to finish a project and measure results. Crazy attrition. Like other reviews have stated, there is a real need for stronger leadership. Lofty goals that are not going to be achieved with the current leadership team. CEO needs to learn how to lead, not tell people what to do and how to do it. For whatever reason, the CEO seems to purposely create conflict within the company. If you leave, it's because "startups are hard and you couldn't handle it." I've never seen a company where non-CEO co-founders have such little say or influence. I would be surprised if Veza exists as a standalone entity a couple of years from now.

Pros

Startups and Hypergrowth environments aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay! Compared to midsize and enterprise environments, they do pivot more. It’s how you figure out the right strategy and continue to succeed. What I’ve seen at Veza is everyone is doing it together. Egos aren’t driving a cutthroat culture. You get to see the impact of the work you’re doing quickly. While there are some bottlenecks (show me a company where there aren’t), they tend to have fewer than a midsize or enterprise org.

Cons

No cons. Just the life of Hypergrowth tech

Pros

The product is genuinely better than competitors — I’ve checked, and that’s part of why I’ve turned down other offers. You work with smart, passionate people who actually care about what we’re building. The technology keeps improving, and leadership is pushing for real growth. There’s flexibility in managing your day when needed, and despite what some say, recognition does happen, maybe not every week, but it’s there. Culture is improving, the new office is great, and leaders are actively trying to understand what’s working and what’s not. Bonuses and other forms of appreciation are starting to show up more often. If you’re here for the long game, there’s massive upside.

Cons

Quarter-end stress can be high — it’s a startup pace, not corporate red tape. Work hours can stretch long depending on how you manage your schedule, but flexibility is real. If you need constant validation or prefer a predictable, slow environment, this isn’t the place. Our CEO can be tough and direct, and yeah, it’s not always delivered the right way — but it’s clear he carries the whole weight of the company on his shoulders and genuinely wants it to win.
