Positive Reviews From Virtana Employees
- What is the best part about your compensation package?Health benefits are good. lack of a 401k match is horrible.. And the last round of layoffs came with almost zero severance so that's not even in the picture.
- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?We have a collaborative, communicative culture who can reach out for help when needed.
- What are some of the best things about your team?The best thing is everyone is willing to help when needed.
Constructive Feedback From Virtana Employees
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?Kash needs to go. The company has gone nothing but downhill since he became CEO. It amazes me that the board hasn't moved on that yet...given the sustained failures of the last 3 years...
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?There are a lot of meetings for the sake of meetings.
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?Stop chasing fads. You're an infrastructure company with delusions of being a cloud company.
