Poor Management - Anonymous employee Velir Studios Employee Review

Pros

They provide a lot of paid for activities for you to partake in - most of them are tied into health. Free Ski trips, and golf tournaments, family apple picking outings, etc. They also had a lot of kitchen perks: Free fair trade coffee, tea, organic fruit, random snacks, milk, and so on. Most of the employees are incredible people to work with and are really skilled at what they do.

Cons

Senior management was always doing re-org's, and changing processes what felt like quarterly. promoting people before they were ready. There was a lot of favoritism in promotions. They would promise growth in careers and then underdeliver if you were not favorited. COO loves micro managing - on a level I've never seen before, and that seems to be acceptable to them. There were a lot of gray areas when it came to work life balance, because they offered a lot of activities and HR encouraged a healthy work life balance, but management expected you to remain available to them at the drop of the hat, no matter the hour of the day.

Pros

Velir has a strong supportive work culture. We are finding our voice in the echo system and committed to delivering exceptional work to Clients. This job is not one you just clock out and not think about, it’s the one you wake ,up excited to tackle the next adventure and see what you can attribute to the team! The support we all have for one another is amazing and the way we all roll our sleeves up together is what I have been looking for in a company for a long time.

Cons

Our calendars definitely have quite a bit of meetings daily but we are working as a team to find ways to minimize these and allocate ways to support one another.
