Pros

Great people to work with depending on which teams you're in. Remote work is a bonus. Pay is decent. The benefits that remain after leadership abruptly changed things are mostly good.

Cons

Culture is terrible. The new CEO is entitled, tonedeaf, and only cares about making the company into a moneymaking machine for him and the rest of leadership. After he took over, he and his team got rid of a large portion of benefits companywide, including unlimited PTO and the professional development stipend, with no notice, in the middle of the year. In the same breath he gave a sanctimonious speech about how we all had to be "winners," that we had to work harder despite having worse benefits. A leader who tells you to work harder for reduced benefits in the same stroke doesn't know how to inspire his employees and doesn't care about their well-being or careers. He and the rest of leadership are fixated on an IPO that may never come, and they're making the company a terrible place to work in the name of making Velocity Global profitable at any cost. Besides that, internally things are so chaotic and unstable, inter-departmental communication is a nightmare and job security is never a certainty, unless you're a sycophant. My department heads assured us we wouldn't lose our jobs - then they, and us, were all laid off. Don't believe a word said by C-Suite. They showed all of us that they'll say whatever they think they have to say to get what they want.

Pros

The company has been through a lot, and some of the older feedback seems tied to past chapters of the business. Right now, there is a clear push to move forward, especially in sales. The focus is on outbound, clearer territories, stronger partnerships, and getting the Pebl brand into the market after the rebrand. The EOR space is very competitive, but it is also a strong market to be in. Pebl has a good product, a strong reputation in the category, and a real opportunity to keep growing. The company is also putting meaningful energy behind technology and AI, which matters in an industry where a lot of providers can start to sound the same. This is a good environment for people who are self-starters. If you like having everything fully mapped out for you, it may be frustrating. But if you are comfortable with some ambiguity and want to have a hand in shaping how things get done, there is a lot of room to make an impact.

Cons

Some processes are still being figured out, and priorities can shift. That can make things feel messy at times. There can also be too many opinions in the room, which occasionally creates a lack of focus. The company has good ideas, but not every idea needs to become a priority. This is also not a clock-in, clock-out environment. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and people need to be comfortable with change. That is not a negative for everyone, but it is worth knowing before joining.

Pros

- Teams are incredibly dedicated, collaborative, and always willing to support one another through challenging transitions. - Strong focus on actively listening to and advocating for customers' needs at the team level.

Cons

- Executive leadership frequently dismisses employee concerns during all-hands calls and relies on empty promises to manage morale. - The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs with zero internal communication or accountability. Employees often only discover colleagues have been let go when they suddenly disappear from communication channels. - Following major organizational shifts, leadership failed to re-align priorities. This created an environment devoid of unified goals, leading to silos and internal division. - Despite the chaotic environment, the frontline employees work incredibly hard but receive little to no recognition or support from upper management.
