Pluspunten

Nice and talented coworkers, good equipment

Minpunten

Communication is practically non existent in this company. When there’s a problem everyone tends to have a “blame someone else” or blame another team/department attitude. The ability to take ownership and fix problems is fundamental to startups, this is one of the reasons this one is doing so badly..it is the worst in upper management in my experience. The heads of departments are particularly bad for it. Extreme lack of transparency. Throughout the year people have been let go of suddenly and with no real explanation to the company or teams. This has left numerous departments scrambling due to having one less set of hands without notice or a proper handoff. It could also be seen when they recently RIFed a large amount of the company. When you look at who they kept and who they let go of, it’s clear they didn’t really know what they were doing. Unfortunately this will all come to a head in the near future when things inevitably break down. Not to mention how there was no warning or even a mention of a potential RIF in certain departments, so people might have a chance to prepare for it. Instead they were instantly removed from slack and laptops disabled after they were told without even a chance to say goodbye to their coworkers. Appalling. The upper management is completely timeworn and archaic. A huge appeal and a necessity for start ups is the idea that everyone takes ownership and is responsible for the success of the company. This is what leads to successful companies as everyone feels they are important and needed. Instead here they keep hiring people with bad attitudes and superiority complexes which leads to the same problems over and over again.. I will echo what a lot of these reviews say.. there are many talented people working at this company but unfortunately this is overshadowed by the egos of the executive team.

With our new CEO Chuck Yu here, VGS has been doing amazing all of 2023. We have brought on new department leaders to help turn this company around.

Pluspunten

- Strong company vision for short and long term future - Decisive and experienced leadership team - If you work hard, fail forward, and adapt to the changing payments landscape you will be successful at VGS (in any role). - Autonomous work structure, no overbearing managers - Promote from within mentality, and lots of room to shine for high performers - Performance over politics - Horizontal Career mobility opportunities (EX: not interested in sales anymore, more so account management) - Fight for each other culture, everyone clearly has each others back and will support one another even if outside their job responsibilities - Best in class product trusted by the largest brands - Great benefits across medical, dental, vision, 401K match, etc - Equity for employees

Minpunten

- High expectations as a lean company - Hybrid near offices recommended. - "get you work done" versus 9 to 5 (could be a con to some people) - Learning curve for both payments and security that will require lean in from the employee to become well-versed.
