Vanta

• Really smart coworkers who know how to GSD
• Managers who actively discourage working nights & weekends
• FAANG-level salary and benefits, and management also listened to employee feedback and added extra wellness/health/WFH benefits
• Friendly, encouraging environment where people are happy to help out
• Well-defined onboarding classes and milestones for a startup
• Vanta customers who are really happy with the product. We defined this new market of continuous security monitoring, and our competitors are playing catch-up. (If you've been at a startup without product-market fit, you know how important this is.)

Uncertain wider market conditions that make it a tough time to be at a startup.

Be deliberate about growth. Other startups are growing "beyond their means," with huge impact on employees. So far, it seems like Vanta is being thoughtful about this, and growing based on our business/market needs.
