Fun culture at the bottom, great employees, poor leadership, toxic politics

Pros

Classic start up perks: fully remote, unlimited PTO, lavish off-sites. 80% of the employees I worked with were great people

Cons

I spent just over two years at VergeSense, and as mentioned by some others, the founders are pretty clueless. They developed a great product (despite issues that really upset some pretty major clients early on), but if you asked either of them to name 5 people in the organization that don't report directly to them, they'd struggle to name even one. That's a pretty glaring issue when you consider that there are only like 120 employees left. When the CEO has no idea what's going on because he spends half the year in Turkey, it fosters an environment of toxic office politics, backstabbing, and manipulation. It leads to an unqualified CRO at a pretty crucial point in the path to profitability, or a VP of product who refuses to take any insight or feedback regarding the product that every client is complaining about. What it doesn't lead to is the behemoth IPO that they still seem to be fantasizing about for some reason? Smart money at this point is on a lackluster acquisition and disappointed investors.

Thank you for taking the time to share your VergeSense experience and review on Glassdoor. It's important for us to hear what we are doing well and what we need to improve upon. We appreciate you highlighting some of the perks available to all VergeSensians including unlimited PTO and planned offsites throughout the year. It's important to us that we treat all teammates as professionals, support work/life balance, and are creating meaningful opportunities to bring our globally distributed teams closer together to collaborate, foster stronger connections with one another, and have fun. We recognize from your review that we have let you down in other aspects and we take ownership in that - we can always improve and feedback like this drives us to do so. We wish you would have shared your experience with us either through our anonymous speak up channel or even directly to the HR team so we could have addressed this head on while you were still at VergeSense. Regardless, your feedback is something we are taking seriously and will look into further. Thank you again for your review. We want all teammates to trust in the decisions and actions of our leadership and feel that VergeSense is a place where we consistently live our core values.

Great employees, terrible executive team

Pros

Great teams. All employees are giving everything. Leads and managers are competent across the board. Everyone is supporting each other.

Cons

The new executive team: frat boys are owning the place. Empty words and bossing around. It is truly disheartening. The company will not scale

Very difficult place to work if you care about diversity

Pros

The employees are great. They are really devoted to the company. I love the people I work with.

Cons

Management is poor and specifically the executive team. The two founders still run the company and its becoming obvious to everyone (accept maybe them) why this is a conflict of interest and maybe time for them to cash out. The CTO is a figure head at best and the CEO needs way more experience as he often makes very impetuous decisions that benefit an IPO and not the long term gains of the company.

Thank you for your feedback. We are proud of the culture we are building at VergeSense, and the hard work that all of our teammates do everyday to innovate and service our customers. We are operating in a high growth environment and we understand that can create change that is not always comfortable. One of our company values is Communicate with High Bandwidth, and we encourage all of our teammates to live that and share feedback through either our anonymous engagement surveys, our People/HR team, your manager, or with leadership. We understand a high growth environment can be challenging and might not be for everyone but we commit to listening to the feedback of our teammates and providing the best possible experience throughout your VergeSense journey. Thank you!
