Pros

Good drinking culture and some true characters. If you are looking for a slacker existence where you can get away with doing very little this is the place for you

Cons

Not really sure where to start. No leadership, constant change of strategy, absolutely zero accountability, if you're a woman beware, sold share options to staff with the promise of an IPO, reorganized and spent millions to get the company ready and then canned this basically making the options worthless, no honesty and just rotten luck that they made it as far as they had

Pros

Flexible work environment Nice offices Casual

Cons

Things got weird, really fast. We spent a ton of time preparing to restructure the company so that we could do an IPO and then it was aborted at the last minute. Wasted months on this. This is pretty typical. Strategy seems to change day to day. You could call that agile, but it feels like chaos. Someone else described the current culture as "Game of Thrones". They aren't wrong. With the aborted IPO, all of the options for the early employees are kind of useless. VGW is one drinks night away from a slew of sexual harassment lawsuits.
