Great flexibility and smart people, some growing pains

Pros

The company is fully remote and work/life balance boundaries are respected. Easy to set your own hours that work for you. Everyone is super smart and talented, making it a pleasure to work here. As a small company there's always lots to do, and often lots of easy wins to feel like you're making a big difference, whereas at a big company you might put in a lot of effort to improve something only slightly. Good transparency from upper management about the health of the business overall.

Cons

Fully remote has its downsides too - lack of connection to colleagues, particularly when we work across all time zones. But this is being improved with more planned social activities. And there are inevitable cons with being a small company too. There are always a ton of projects to work on (which is a pro as long as you don't feel overwhelmed!), a lengthy backlog to get to, but things like documentation are often left behind, meaning it's sometimes hard to find exactly the info you're looking for.

A long road to success

Pros

Attractive self sustainable product. Smart and passionate coworkers who know and love what they do. Modern tools with flexibility to pick tech stack that works for you and your team.

Cons

Toxic leadership. Get the smartest team around the world with poor leadership infusing stress and you will get vidiq. Teams are misaligned on strategy and execution. Zero transparency. Creative product ideas and offered solutions are being ignored. There are strong experts who joined the company over last year but it will be a long road of breaking the current plateau of bad practice and toxicity.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It is helpful for us to hear what is going well and areas for us to improve upon. We are glad to see your positive feedback on your smart and passionate colleagues and the product. We also appreciate your feedback around leadership challenges and lack of alignment. As a growing and rapidly evolving start-up, we sometimes have competing priorities for how best to allocate resources and which product ideas to escalate. While there might not always be agreement on these things, we strive for team members to feel heard and to have transparency on why certain decisions are made. We are making continued efforts on the senior leadership team to increase our communications and collaboration with our teams. If you are interested in discussing this further, we encourage you to reach out to your manager or to HR to continue the conversation.

Pros

Zero, this has been the worst stop of my career

Cons

1) I was lied to during the interview process about what was needed. If they had been upfront, I would have know that VidIQ's needs and my skills were not aligned. 2) Management was constantly demanding answers before datasets were stat sig. 3) No onboarding process. No one told me to buy a computer until 2 days before my start date. This lack of process started from day zero until I left. 4) Their data is utter trash. When I showed up you could not connect Email to video stats. They wanted analysis of different users profiles, but the foundation data couldn't support connecting a user profile to video stats. It was a joke. 5) Some of the original employees would push back on analytic needs, even though the company hired two analytic experts and the original employee had no back ground. Everything was a fight with someone who didn't really have the analytic skills but had power with the management
