Pros

At lower levels, mostly great people (with some notable douchebags), smart, talented and enthusiastic (although that gets sucked pretty quickly). Nice building. Very flexible time-wise, good work-life balance. Dogs at the office.

Cons

Passive-aggressive (and just aggressive) behaviour from a number of key staff including CEO. When the introduction talks about how "we don't do silent disagreement", that means silent disagreement is rampant. Lots of unpleasant politics for a little organisation. Exec-team not functioning. Aware of the problems, but to date incapable of solving them. No leadership or vision from CEO/senior team, other than "everything is awesome!" Endless banging of the "culture" drum while team is failing to perform. You can't have culture if good people can't do good work.

Pros

This company has a legit chance of becoming the best in the world at what we do, which is super inspiring and makes you jump out of bed in the morning to get to work. The projects and opportunities available to you are endless, and you can really rise within the company to whatever you're capable of.

Cons

The pace at Vend is super fast, so if you're not on the ball and on top of your game then you can get left behind. Also, you'll need to adapt well to change as the company is growing rapidly.
