Pros

Via did a good job at hiring some awesome people on the IC level. I definitely made some long term friends working there.

Cons

Unfortunately Via was NOT great at hiring the people who actually made decisions for the company. Although I enjoyed my time at the company, I would caution anyone against working here. It's a dying company, and chances are you will be let go soon.

Pros

There was a good group of people who had joined.

Cons

Worst CEO I've ever worked for. He believed he was the next Steve Jobs, but was about the furthest thing from it when it came to his understanding of the product and the needs of the business. Horrible people skills, talked behind everyone's back, belittled his employees in from of teams on a daily basis, and refused allow anyone to do the jobs they were hired to do. Micro management doesn't even begin to describe what a day in the life was like a Via. I still have nightmares thinking about working with that CEO again. I highly advise anyone who might stumble across this to steer clear from this person.
