Pros: Innovation: Creativity is more than a buzzword. There is a constant problem-solving and creativity process, which is a real treat, engineering-wise. Inspiring Leadership: Our commitment to breaking barriers is embraced daily in Vast's culture of innovation. Industry Recognition: Our achievements have garnered recognition from peers, industry experts, and the wider community, which I think brings purpose to it all.

Cons: Working remotely when most of R&D are in a +7 time zone compared to me can be challenging at times.

Pros: No tower offices. Very friendly (and great partygoers) people. Easy to move between positions to find the best position for you. High salaries. Exponential growth of share value.

Cons: Almost every team is practically always short on staff, having more work than people who can do it.

Pros: * Solid foundational storage technology * Some exceptionally talented individuals

Cons: Leadership Deficiencies: The founding team demonstrates a critical lack of managerial and interpersonal skills. Ego-driven decisions and a disregard for basic HR practices threaten the company's future. Organizational Neglect: A 1000-person company operates without a functional HR department, leading to policy inconsistencies and a lack of employee support. Culture Concerns: Discriminatory behavior, including sexism and racism, creates a hostile environment. Management Vacuum: Lack of effective management and devaluation of management roles result in operational chaos. AI Misrepresentation: The company's AI claims do not align with its core storage operations. Most employees have legacy tech experience, not AI expertise. Deceptive Sales Practices: The company consistently overstates its capabilities to secure deals, which is unsustainable and unethical.
