Pros

- Great peers and that's about it

Cons

- As mentioned by other commenters the company relies on a lot of re-packaged software - Management is extremely sexist and borderline racist - Dishonest CEO who advocates for rigid working hours and is extremely inflexible - Often heard management speaking horribly about developers saying things like "devs are lazy, incompetent etc." - Management is incredibly inflexible on product direction and lacks skills or creativity to create innovative solutions - An astounding amount of turnover - Building solutions for a dying industry (news publishing/commenting) -Lack of transparency with employees

Viafoura Response

Hello Anonymous Reviewer, This is Jesse, the CEO you referenced in your review. I’m responding to your anonymous and inaccurate commentary on behalf of all the passionate, funny, intelligent, and eclectic people who call Viafoura “home”. More specifically, the great peers that you, too, acknowledged working with. (Which begs the question: Why would so many great people work at such a “horrible” organization?) No company is without challenges and Viafoura is no exception. We openly acknowledge areas of improvement and strive to correct them. If you truly experienced such impertinent behaviour during your time at Viafoura, I am genuinely interested in hearing about the incident and gaining your perspective. You can contact me directly anytime or email me anonymously. I look forward to a time where I can rock climb full time, but for now, we have to keep delivering on our mission to support the vital objectives bestowed on us by our media / publishing clients undergoing an exciting transformation, while continuing to build an innovative company on a foundation of integrity, accountability and mutual respect. Jesse - CEO, Viafoura

Pros

- Remote work environment - Work-life balance - Some talented and hardworking individual contributors

Cons

- Leadership and organizational structure often felt unclear and inconsistent, which created confusion around priorities and direction - Limited focus on employee growth, career development, or structured mentorship - Management style in some teams leaned heavily toward micromanagement rather than empowerment - Communication culture could be improved — at times feedback was delivered in a way that felt unprofessional or overly critical - Accountability was not always handled fairly across teams
