People are quitting in waves. It speaks volumes to the culture and terrible management. 

You will work with some amazing people, and the "hang out all the time" aspect is strongly built into the culture. You'll be doing everything with your work colleagues. Which for some is amazing, especially if you're fresh out of college and want to feel like you're right back in it.

Amazing co-workers aside, the management and culture of this company is toxic. As one review said "cancerous" and that's putting it lightly. 

The CEO won't listen to ANY criticism and always has a "rebuttal" to anything constructive anyone tries to tell him. People who question the status quo are fired, sales is a revolving door. 

High quality, skilled workers leave instantly, some only staying a month before quitting. There is no career development, there is no advancement, upper management is only out for themselves and it shows.

It's not a good place to work. Don't be fooled by the HR reviews on Glassdoor and the curated pictures on Instagram. They claim that all the "negative" reviews are actually a "hiring tactic" by local companies. This is a horrible mentality. They think that local organizations in Kitchener are posting negative reviews, and spreading gossip about the terrible culture, layoffs, and rapid staff-turnover as a hiring tactic. It's hard to believe that all companies in KW are out to get Vidyard. They are very oblivious to the negative image they have in this city and the industry. 

If you want to see a prime example of bro-culture this is the place for you. Men are favored heavily here, there are many in high level positions who are very under qualified and unsuitable for the role.

There are far far FAR better places to work. 

Good if you're right out of college but not the place to build a career, or further your growth.

This was my first job out of University. I did not know what to expect, and was initially taken aback by the expectations of self-learning and performance. 

it's taken me a year to come to terms with this being a progressive attitude, the support is everywhere, but it's up to you to show up / ask for it and utilize it + learn. 

This is isn't for everyone, the business actively tries to find self-motivated learners. The CEO is transparent about this. 

When I was there, there was some complaining about it. I know a few people that left, but since working at other companies, have wanted to come back (me included). This would have been a great place for my second or third job - I wasn't mentally prepared for it. 

My current employer is a smaller business that doesn't seem to understand the importance of performance, it feels like some people just show up to hang out. This is celebrated but it's not the type of place where I want to build my career.

This company is good for co-ops who don't want to be trained or learn anything but want free beer and parties. 

This company is run like a frat house and is very juvenile. They have a serious employee turnover problem and have a negative imagine in the industry. Highly talented, senior level staff are exiting at rapid rates. There is no direction, terrible gossip and clique behaviour. Very highschool.

This is not a healthy place. It's soul crushing. There are no inspiring managers to learn from or work for. This company is a pit stop on your way to a better career.

Great overall team - fantastic product - be aware of management style and their willingness to train and mentor your development and help with your overall success within the organization.

Horrible "bro culture" with sloppy developers and a virtually non-existent QA. Constant pressure to join company outings which happen multiple times a week. Work/life balance is extremely poor and management do not care about career advancement. This company is cancerous. Stay away.

I remember our team was scolded in a meeting room for not hitting our dials. Literally being screamed at by our red-in-the-face manager and this was completely acceptable and encouraged. 

Decent company
Great management
Keep up the good work
The Management cares about the product deeply and the culture/growth of the company
Strongly recommended

It was a great place to work. People are great and are always helpful. Open desk concept which is great. The execs sit alongside and work. Really motivating environment.

Great workplace,good health insurance,lots of trainings.Management always on point.Workload is much,no much holidays and vacation.pay is good,can be improved.

Remote work with in office opportunities, it was pretty laid back while having the necessary staff on board to help with any problems that I was facing
