Pros: Talented engineers. Cutting-edge development.

Cons: Working on weekends and holidays sometimes.

Pros: Great people and fun atmosphere in the office. Interesting problems. Business side is booming. Advanced technologies. Can't ask for much more, honestly.

Cons: As part of the growing pains of transitioning from a startup to a large-scale organization, some of the newer team leads are still not very good at dealing with subordinates and helping them grow. Salaries are significantly lower than corporate levels (FAANG), but upside with options + secondary rounds should make up for it with a decent compensation package.

Pros: Vast has an exceptional team of smart and engaging software engineers. They are technically proficient and a pleasure to work with. Building high-performance, robust systems at scale is an engaging and fulfilling experience.

Cons: Occasionally, some managers display emotional and overbearing behavior. Despite some management challenges, VAST is an attractive company for software engineers seeking exciting and impactful work opportunities.
