Vendasta Employee Review

An extraordinary work culture and environment, with great opportunity for growth and development.

Sales Engineer (Current Employee) - 410 22 St E 15th Floor, Saskatoon, SK S7K 5T6 - 23 December 2021

I moved from another province for an opportunity to work at Vendasta. Even though I knew very little about the work environment and company culture, I decided to take a risk, and I can honestly say that it was the best decision I could have made. Vendasta has developed an inclusive, energetic, fun and challenging ecosystem for its employees to work, create and collaborate with each other. If you are agile in adapting to new situations and thrive in fast-passed work environments, then Vendasta is the place for you. Self development and career growth are also deeply rooted within the company's culture. The management team will work with you to help find the best and most rewarding career path for you within the company. All things considered, Vendasta offers competitive salary and lots of perks like discounts, free food, remote work flexibility, and more.

Pros

Free breakfast and afternoon snacks, Lunches are served on the premises and are very cheap ($5), Happy hour every Friday after work, Great company culture, Inclusive environment, Flexibility on remote work and working hours, Fun company events throughout the year, Discount on parking permits & bus passes, Discount for many gyms across Saskatoon

Cons

Company is still experiencing growing pains, resulting in lack of solid procedures and processes

Thank you for your very thorough and fair review of Vendasta. You have picked up on many of the areas we emphasize and work hard at. We want to be a place that people enjoy showing up at every day and building a career. Our growth has been fast and significant, which does mean that we're building the rocket ship in flight. We have made significant strides in the last year regarding our processes, and we believe we're well positioned to manage the next stage of growth. On the bright side, it's never dull around here!

Do not work here

Management (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 6 September 2023

This company is not trustworthy. They do not practice what they preach about their culture. Many of their leaders are young with big titles and little experience (cost saving here). If you come in with experience, be careful as you can be fired for threatening the less experienced people there with your good work. Do not leave a stable job for this one for the promise that your hard work will pay off (it won't). Their company goal is to continuously fire bottom-ranking performers. If you love a toxic culture and are willing to throw people under the bus to get ahead. Play the game, get in the 'cool kids' & you'll thrive at Vendasta.

Pros

Free unhealthy food that will make you gain a ton of weight

Cons

There is no work life balance, There are a ton of events outside regular hours that you have to go to, Overtime is expected and nobody cares that you are working long hours because everybody else is too

Not too good experience

Account Executive (Former Employee) - Saskatoon, SK - 3 April 2023

The company is good and it's growing rapidly. Their product is very complex and the support system is not so good. Overall it's a good company but it was certainly not joyful to work
