Pros
1: The work mode is hybrid. 2: Most of the people are a joy to work with. 3: Fast-paced and dynamic work environment. 4: You'll work mostly with young, bright people. 5: Pay is fair—it all depends on your role and experience. 6: Relaxed and conducive work environment equipped with games, etc. 7: If you're starting out your career, you'll get valuable hands-on experience. 8: Flexible work hours. You can close before 5 as long as you work for the expected number of hours, you're good.
Cons
1: Inexperienced founders who believe they alone have all the answers. 2: There's a CEO, but you'll probably never see or meet him (Holy Ghost). 3: Five years in, and the business still lacks some basic organizational and reporting structure. 4: What you're interviewed for is not necessarily what you get upon resumption. This is true for the majority of people working there. 5: They have a habit of shifting the goalpost (objectives) and setting unrealistic targets then blame you for not meeting those constantly changing and unrealistic expectations. 6: You will not rise through the ranks. You’re more likely to move horizontally than vertically. If there’s an opportunity to move someone up, they’d rather hire someone new. (Hire and develop the best, my foot!) 7: The COO (Olumide Fayakin) is essentially the CEO. He sets the business goals, leads operations, and interferes in products and tech—because why not? He likes to think of himself as an expert in everything (Omni-knowest). 8: The CPO (Gatunmi Aliyu) what a guy! Check your dictionary and you'll find his picture next to the word "Pompous". Poor leadership skills.He’s also the worst founder to work with. Quick to get annoyed and fond of talking down to people. He’ll whip out his locally acquired foreign accent when he wants to sound impressive. If his team drops the ball, he’ll pass the buck instead of taking ownership. 9: In sum, if politicking and ass-kissing aren’t your thing, you probably won’t thrive at Vendease. If it is, join the train, you'll fit right in.
