Pros

Recruiting at Vodori has been excellent as evident by the great number of talented employees who work(ed) there.

Cons

Vodori runs like a restaurant without a chef and simultaneously too many chefs in the kitchen without a clue on how to put it all together! The owners don't trust anyone's decisions, including their own, long enough to gain momentum in any direction. So they've ended up with staff that are running around like chickens without heads, sous chefs who don't know what stations they are manning, and a soup that is nothing like the menu promises and tastes worse with every stir! The owners run the company, which would be okay if they knew how to lead, but with all their individual talents in their respective areas of expertise, they are some of the worst leaders I've ever had the displeasure of working with. They have outdated views of leadership, valuing a fear-based, competition-driven, image-conscious style over a trusting, supportive, and empowering one that makes employees want to stick around. Their lack of interest in their people outside their immediate usefulness is painfully obvious. Furthermore, they do not seem interested in building a sustainable company and as such the talents of those who care about their work is wasted at Vodori. There's no stored value in any of the work that is contributed by bright people over the years, as everything is thrown out and started from scratch on a whim.

Pros

Company allows remote work for many positions, which gives them the opportunity to hire stellar talent. But this is pretty common nowadays. The products are great and meet an industry need. Healthcare was very good.

Cons

While there are people in leadership positions, none of them are leaders. Pivoting from a consulting company to software sales has left them out of their comfort zone and in unknown territory, and their egos are too big to get business actual help. They notoriously thrown things at the wall to see what sticks, without waiting to see what sticks. And of course, all of these things are no or low cost, because the company is in financial disrepair. Layoffs commonly occurred, even right after everyone was told we were fine, so watch out. There are reasons why the initial round of funding was so low and other funding did not come through. This is not a company to bet on.
