Pros

- Close proximity to leadership - Great location in Somerville - Friendly and hard working co-workers - Fun company outings

Cons

- More turnover than most companies I've worked for - Got lowballed extremely hard on salary initially, offensively so. - For a mid size company, the development process was very strict and unforgiving to the engineers - Management required detailed estimations from the engineers, then would move deadlines up multiple weeks/months at times ignoring the engineering estimates to satisfy clients - This despite daily standups. - At least 20% of each day was spent in meetings. - Had to work several weekends to make up for upper management scheduling mistakes

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.
