Vista Group Reviews

The upwards progression at Vista from what I've seen tends to be taking on more managerial roles in squads or product managers etc. I believe most of it stems from recognition of the work completed by staff members.

Gathered 15k donation for Auckland flood. There are volunteering days every now and then.

There is a huge emphasis on culture in both the workplace and out. There are social groups open to anyone for almost anything you can think of. Sports, Movies, Video games and even a band. All of this works together to create a social atmosphere between colleagues whilst ensuring you can make relationships with those further up the chain of hierarchy and your fellow colleagues. During work hours, no one is too important to talk to or ask questions.

Diversity is celebrated at Vista, with many initiatives and presentations run to give representation to different groups.

I work as a graduate software engineer, working primarily on backend systems. My day-to-day responsibilities consist of writing code, writing tests, looking into and fixing bugs, and overall contributing and working with others in a team.

Yes, my managers are really nice while super busy every day. But they will always respond to my messages when they have time. They are also happy to hear anything about feedback or enquiries.

The company's office is located within the heart of Auckland City with many interesting eateries around. The office itself is nice and open with "hot desks", so you can basically sit where you want. Each desk is equipped with at least two monitors, mouse, keyboard, and a laptop dock. The office building has two main toilet areas, one of which is equipped with shower facilities as well. Dress code is just casual.

The interview process was quite unique. After initial CV screening, shortlisted candidates are invited to Vista HQ for a group interview day. On the day, we are assessed on our communicate, teamwork, critical thinking skills via some interesting exercises. By the end of the day, each candidate was interviewed by three employees from different department of Vista.

The pay is very competitive, and there are performance and salary review every six months.

Formal training has helped in grasping knowledge on the vast amount of Vista products. On the job training has mainly occurred for my role, learning the techniques and methods used by Vista as a business analyst.

Incredibly flexible, as long as you are in attendance for important squad and other meetings, you are able to get your work done in your time. As long as you keep up with the workload and make sure it is done to a high standard.

I have noticed initiatives to reduce environmental footprint around the office, whether it be challenges to cycle to work or battery recycling bins.
