Pros & Cons
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Vanta
- Strong compensation rated 4.3/5 — best category score
- Market-defining product in security compliance automation
- Brutal meeting culture pushing work into nights and weekends
- Virtually no AEs hit quota — targets unrealistically high
Bottom Line
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
Vanta
Pays extremely well and owns its market niche, but the meeting-heavy culture and low WLB score (3.3/5) signal this is not for anyone seeking balance.
