Not women friendly

Pros

Many employees are competent, respectful, and pleasant to work with. The vacation package is good compared to some other companies, but not the best for what progressive companies are offering.

Cons

Toxic masculinity is rampant, which is not surprising since leadership (and the workforce as a whole) is majority white and male. While the organization has implemented some groups such as Women in Engineering, the burden to support women is placed on the women themselves. I have witnessed and hear heard too many stories of “senior” employees exhibiting unprofessional behavior. It’s not okay to call your coworker “idiotic” because you don’t agree with them. It’s not okay to tell women in an aggressive how you think they should do their job when you are not their supervisor. The paid parental leave (6 weeks) that they just rolled out is a joke compared to the paid leave the other offices outside of North America receive.

Pros

Good connection with Sweden and other global branches. Very flexible working conditions if you work in the corporate office. Salary is above market.

Cons

Safety is talked about a lot but with little to no actual action. Overall incompetence with executive leadership team and upper management, tenure is rewarded here and not skill. New ideas or suggestions of change are looked down on and often actively punished through office politics. A lot of people in operational roles at VGA are desperate for change but leadership don’t seem interested or able to support. Money is very tight and so is resourcing for teams considered less valuable. If you are the sort of person who is happy to cruise along until retirement this is the place for you. Not the company for innovators or disrupters.
