Pros

The office was beautiful (before it closed in March)

Cons

Lots of virtue signaling and empty / tone-deaf support for social justice causes. Leadership is inexperienced and under-qualified. Lots of uncertainty about the future and no major products have released in the last 2 years. A terrible business outlook with repeated patterns that signal poor management. (Just Google it, they've closed their NY and Chicago offices, laying off many people and learned nothing from it.)

Thank you for taking the time to let us know your impression of VSCO. I appreciate it, even if it isn't the experience that I hoped you would have. I recognize that the recent layoff in Q2 2020 impacted a lot of wonderful people and am sorry to hear how it shaded your view of the company. Our team has been hard at work to build a compelling experience for our creative community and deliver on the mission we've set forth. Again, thanks for sharing your input - I value it.
