Svantaggi
Accepting a position at VIA is the single biggest regret of my career. I don't know how to best convey this without sounding bitter, but none of the other negative reviews are exaggerating how bad Tejas has been as CEO. I've had quite a few experiences in my career, and nothing has compared to how badly Tejas has mismanaged this company and treated his employees. There was ridiculous amounts of micromanagement, pushing out/firing of anyone that isn't a loyalist, and hiring and laying off entire teams on a whim. There have been entire teams hired then laid off within just a few months, and there have also been entire teams laid off just to have the same positions rehired a few months later. Nothing is secure or stable at VIA because of Tejas. VIA was able to attract quite a bit of talent with sizable compensation packages due to a large funding round, and yet Tejas personally has managed to either drive out or lay off a large portion of that talent. It's likely the company will not exist in its current form for much longer, but if by some chance you are a poor job seeker considering this company, or any company that Tejas has touched, I beg you to seek elsewhere.
