Pros
There are a few diamonds in the rough, in terms of coworkers, but you have to sort through a cold and uncaring culture to find them. Depending on your manager, you can wrangle some degree of flexibility, but that did not seem to be everyone's experience.
Cons
Where to begin? If you have been working at Velir for longer than 5 years, you may not resonate with much of this. That's because folx who have tenure at velir are treated wildly differently than newer staff. And the tenured staff treat the new people differently too. If you work there long enough, you'll start to feel like you're in high school with all the cliquiness. Leadership does not care about how you're doing. They only care if you match their 100% billable target. 100%!! You read that right. Echoing a few of these other reviews, if you make one or two mistakes, you'll be met with "agency life is not for everyone" instead of mentorship or support on how to meet your goals. The recent merger with brooklyn data co was a disaster, and velir were so rude and uncooperative with us when we joined. I've never worked somewhere with a less caring and supportive culture. RUN - don't walk - away from any possible opportunities here!
