Pros

Like any scale up there are always new projects and you feel as though you are part of the exciting growth of the company. There is food and coffee daily (salary sacrifice), gym, access to physiotherapy and massage at discounted rate.

Kontras

If you have a life outside of work you won't fit in. - Overtime is the norm including weekend and holidays. Make sure you answer your email outside of hours! - Staff turnover is very high. You would be lucky to last past 6 months due to being fired with no warning or wanting to get the hell out. - Middle management couldn't have enough umbrellas to protect their teams. The sun rarely shines. - There is no HR or professional development. Only legal to manage all the fair work claims. - Women are objectified and minority groups mocked. - Direction constantly changes with various side projects and unrealistic deadlines. - The founders want to make the company as profitable as possible through any means necessary and that does not include a good culture or a robust team.

We appreciate you taking the time to review VALD on Glassdoor. Just as we build and refine our products based on the latest research, receiving feedback is always welcome and helps us refine our team member experience. We agree with your comments around being a part of an exciting growth period for VALD. VALD is a fast growing company with new and exciting things always taking place. We do expect a lot from our team members and we provide opportunities for really rewarding work, and the perks are there to help. We have a global client base and alongside the excitement of that is sometimes the need for not having a 9-5 work day. To be successful as we scale, we need to work hard and be enthusiastic by what we are creating and accomplishing. Sometimes there are areas of work that require an escalation of effort that, yes, may extend your working day compared to what you would be required to work in a large corporate organisation. However with effort comes reward, and I am proud of how VALD has fun, relaxes and unwinds as a company following those high demand periods. This helps us handle our work better and we celebrate our achievements by having both formal and informal celebrations as a team. To address your comments around high turnover, I would be interested to know what your definition of high is. Yes, we have turnover, just like any company and in particular dynamic scale ups. VALD isn’t for everyone, and if you are uncomfortable with what we stand for or how we work, you are unlikely to thrive long term. Sometimes the misalignment is identified early in someone’s employment at VALD, and that’s ok. We strive to find a relationship where both the team member and VALD thrive by having a common goal. I’m disappointed to hear your comment around alleged objectification and mocking treatment. I take these comments very seriously and if you would like to share more about your experience please contact me by emailing laurie@vald.com (or our Company Secretary/General Counsel Tim Wilkins (t.wilkins@vald.com)) so that we can set up a time to discuss this more, in a confidential manner.

Pros

Being remote gives you flexibility, and the pay was good for my position.

Kontras

Aside from the remote work and pay, working for Vald was one of the most stressful experiences I have ever had. - Lack of support from leadership - Intimidation and fear-mongering (I heard explicitly from old colleagues that they were outright told their jobs were on the line constantly, or they were being "watched" by leadership) - Extreme micromanaging (expect little/no autonomy and to have every email, message, and call critiqued and criticized) - Extremely high employee turnover - Aggressive revenue goals and transactional sales tactics in a relationship-based industry (expect to become the pushy salesman to hit your quota) - Absolutely zero work/life balance (working "overtime" and weekends is almost a necessity, especially at the beginning of your employment) - Unfair territory assignment (some sales reps had much larger territory distribution than others, giving them more opportunities. Finding opportunities in 3-4 counties is significantly more difficult than trying to find opportunities in 3-4 states.) - Account Hoarding (senior sales reps tend to hold key accounts for themselves, with newer sales reps scrambling to find traction) - Lack of professional development (they prioritize hiring practitioners with zero sales experience, only to fire them or have them "managed out" when their only development is going out and learning via "trial by fire") - Culture vs Reality mismatch (the pillars they claim to stand by are non-existent in their day-to-day handling of their employees) - Short ramp-up period for complex sales cycles (I hope you learn fast) - Reputation Risk (The pressure to use overly aggressive sales tactics risked damaging long-term industry relationships)
