Pros

The people are great, friendly and easy to work with. Most of the people have extensive industry experience and know what they are talking about for a product and the Vela brand having a good reputation

Cons

Currently being integrated with a company who’s management doesn’t know right from left. They are in over their heads and are sluggish to just decide on making a decision on everything and anything. Once they do feel it needs to be discussed it’s far too late.

Pros

-A pretty generous vacation policy -The hours are pretty flexible -Some cool technologies like Ember, Django and Scala.

Cons

-The CEO lies a TON. Small stuff. Big stuff. Anything to make her and the executive team look better. -My portion of the company was acquired about a year ago and the CEO promised that we'd maintain benefits like free lunch. A month later lunch was gone. -After months of awaiting long over due raises and bonuses, the CEO promised that raises would be back paid. Her solution? Don't give raises and it's not technically a lie. -They gave NY half day Fridays (the office that conveniently all C level employees worked out of) through the summer and all other offices $10 for lunch. -Tons of devs quit and they were never replaced. Others just had to pull more weight. -The CEO and her assistant wasted tons of money traveling the world while complaining about money when raises didn't happen. -After giving my resignation, no one from the company (outside of HR) even reached out to me to transfer 7+ years of knowledge.
