VTEX reviews

- The leadership is all over the place, and they sometimes seem to be flipping a coin before deciding who to fire next; - Unhealthy idea that everybody at the company needs to become an engineer; - The product is not ready for the European market, and the higher ups don't seem to really care (no timeline in place for local product enhancements); - Clueless team management, where people are moved from one functional team to another with no real logic behind it (I saw someone having 5 completely different roles within one year, without ever asking personally to change team); - Arrogant approach to the market - just because you are a market leader back at home in Brazil, that doesn't make you automatically one in Europe. Bad attitude towards the market, "God complex" of "they would be lucky to be our clients" (spoiler alert, it doesn't work).

Fast growth brought unstructured management, grandfathering leadership from acquisitions that were ok while the company was tiny, but not a good fit for the strategic VP levels as the company grew.
