Pros

- During my time at Vodori, nearly every co-worker I had was great to work with. - Truly unlimited PTO. - Opportunities to progress your career due to small team size.

Cons

Over the past few years, the company has transitioned from mainly consulting to a SaaS model, where the big driver is company valuation over employee happiness. Some highlights of life at Vodori: - Low pay. - Gaslighting. - Severely understaffed. - Burnout due to understaffing. - 90% of the product team has left over the past 18 months. - Founders don't trust employees to make the right decisions, so they micromanage every department. - As people leave, the leadership team is outsourcing entire departments (HR, Support, DevOps, Engineering) rather than backfilling. - The CEO listens to the Joe Rogan podcast and brings it up regularly in conversation.

Vodori Response

Thanks for the feedback. One point of clarification - I do indeed pull ideas and inspiration from many places, podcasts included. However, I don't listen to Joe Rogan. The podcast I most often recommend and frequently reference at Vodori is the Jocko Podcast, and in particular any episode with Dave Burke.

Pros

Company allows remote work for many positions, which gives them the opportunity to hire stellar talent. But this is pretty common nowadays. The products are great and meet an industry need. Healthcare was very good.

Cons

While there are people in leadership positions, none of them are leaders. Pivoting from a consulting company to software sales has left them out of their comfort zone and in unknown territory, and their egos are too big to get business actual help. They notoriously thrown things at the wall to see what sticks, without waiting to see what sticks. And of course, all of these things are no or low cost, because the company is in financial disrepair. Layoffs commonly occurred, even right after everyone was told we were fine, so watch out. There are reasons why the initial round of funding was so low and other funding did not come through. This is not a company to bet on.
