Pros

Competitive pay compared to other companies

Cons

Working at Ventas feels like an endless 24/7 commitment, with little consideration for personal time or boundaries. Since my start, I've found myself working on most weekends, nights, vacations, and even during flights for work-related tasks. The oppressive culture of micromanagement is deeply rooted within my team. My managers exhibit an incessant need to oversee every minor task, going as far as reviewing my emails before I can even send them out. This level of oversight leaves little room for independent decision-making and stifles any potential for professional growth. For those considering a position at this company, it's essential to be aware of the high turnover rate. A cursory LinkedIn search is likely to reveal a string of predecessors in the role you're eyeing. I would strongly advise reaching out to them and asking questions to gain a better understanding of what you may be getting into.

Pros

I’ve been at Ventas for just over two years now, and I’ve seen this company shift from good to truly great. When I first joined, there was energy and ambition — lots of “we can do more” — but more recently I feel like we’ve found our stride. The leadership isn’t just chasing growth; they’re being very intentional about how we grow, where we invest, and making sure we build sustainable advantage. For a large S&P 500 company, the corporate team is surprisingly small and nimble. You actually see the outcome of your work and feel connected to what’s happening at the top. There’s not a lot of red tape — people focus on the work and on doing it well. The pace can be quick and priorities can shift, but that comes with being in a company that’s looking ahead instead of playing catch-up — and that’s a good place to be.

Cons

It’s a small, high-performing team with nowhere to hide. Accountability starts at the top — the CEO can and will dive into details. If you aren’t excellent at what you do, this probably isn’t the place for you.
