Pros

Viamo intends to focus on projects that help underprivileged communities and provide them with important information.

Cons

Viamo's recent staff cuts paint a concerning picture for potential employees. Reports of significant layoffs, including a large portion of the design team, raise questions about the company's direction and stability. The cited reason of a "redundant workforce" lacks transparency, especially considering a similar round of layoffs just four years ago. The timing, coinciding with a broader tech industry downturn, suggests financial pressures. However, the lack of clear communication regarding the specific reasons behind the cuts is troubling. This secrecy, coupled with the repeated layoffs, creates the impression of a company struggling to navigate economic challenges.
