      Pros

      - Folks are nice enough, which most times turns into a con but i'll explain. - Pay is just okay, if you work a true 40 hr week, most often you'll find yourself working well into the night and on weekends. - Summer fridays -- half day fridays in July and August, the problem is you'll work 12 hr days the rest of the week anyway so does it matter that you get 4 hrs back on Friday? You end up working the full day anyway.

      Cons

      There's absolutely no work-life balance. They talk the talk but they don't walk the walk. Folks work well into the night and most days I found myself working 10 - 12 hr days and not taking breaks. Unfortunately, late night and weekend workers are rewarded with compliments of being hard workers so the work-life balance message ends up being cancelled out. Futher to the point above, if you're working well beyond your capacity to think clearly and not taking breaks (even when WFH), it is impossible to be your best self. Diversity and inclusion is a HUGE problem. Rememeber those nice people I mentioned in the pros? Well, there's a ‘culture of niceness’ that prevents the hard work of dismantling polite racism within the company. The kind of polite racism that seems to only be visible to people of colour. Breakdowns, tears and visible signs of stress are common here which is strange because we're not saving lives. IF toxic positivity is your thing, then Vena might be the place for you. If balance or mental wellness is important to you, I wouldn't recommend this company. Burnout is inevitable here.

      We take our commitment to wellness, work-life balance and inclusion very seriously and any individual experience that does not live up to the standards we’ve set for our company and culture represents a failure for all. We are deeply proud of the depth and dimensions of diversity across our company, and understand that strengthening our systems of inclusion is a “better, better, never best” exercise in which there are always areas we’re going to need to focus in on. One specific way we invest in this is through our on-going inclusivity review process which assesses our policies, programs, and processes through a focused DEI lens - while this is led by our DEI Director, all Venanites are responsible for ensuring we live our values. I would truly welcome the opportunity to sit down with you to understand your experience and help us be better - please reach out to me directly if you are comfortable doing so. You can also share specific feedback anonymously through our DEI feedback portal - this can be accessed through the Viki, or you may wish to work directly with your HR Business Partner; in all scenarios, we will maintain strict confidentiality and dutifully investigate. We are here for you and would like to work through this in the manner that feels right for you. - Hunter Madeley, CEO

      Pros

      Great overall company culture, good benefits, incredible coworkers, and company values work-life balance.

      Cons

      Your experience at the company truly depends on which team you're on, especially if you're on a team like Marketing. The politics within the department are so incredibly visible that it has completely ruined morale and trust. You think you're hired to do your job because you have experience and actually know what you're doing, but in reality, your leader doesn't know how to listen or support you, and they only protect themselves. Communication and transparency are TERRIBLE as the C-Leader is attending 0 meetings, doesn't participate in anything, and rarely shares important updates yet demands immediate time and energy from individuals/MLT for projects and tasks that aren't a priority or don't even make sense. MLT creates more stress and pressure on the rest of the team as they don't know how to prioritize, work together, or communicate effectively for alignment. Also, how does it make sense that some leaders who have high turnover on their teams continue to get more positions/budget yet have 0 time and bandwidth to support their own members who are already struggling? Until the leadership dynamic here changes, I would stay away.
