Pros

Free coffee & Christmas gift card.

Cons

I can only make my comments about the accounting department.; unnecessary weekly meetings that will eventually have you checked out, the selfish top management who throws works at you without even considering feasibility to accomplish the job, and “the” inexperienced first line supervisor who applies different sets of standards when evaluating performance. This person is so generous to himself. It’s nothing when he makes mistakes. But this person will let everyone know to show off how he is good as a reviewer, copying everyone emails, if you make a minor mistake such as typos from Spreadsheets. This person is also notorious for his passive aggressive communication style, which has been mentioned from another review here. I witnessed that people had fights with this person when leaving the company. And this person manages his workloads well. He usually doesn’t leave before this person’s supervisor leaves, trying to show off but watching YouTube while killing time - Anyways, stay away from this company if you are an accountant who wants to grow and concerns about you career. This is a prime example of a career regression opportunity. But if you want to chill, this is the right place. You will have a good work life balance. But you can’t take vacation between October and February of the following year.

Thank you for your constructive feedback upon departure from Verify. It is always welcomed and appreciated from both current and former members of the Verify family. In recent months - and moving forward - we have revisited and are expanding our supervisor and management training. This may not have benefited you during your time with us, however will hopefully improve collective collaboration, culture and performance for our current and future team members. Take care and best of luck. - Kathleen

Pros

- Knowledgeable and skilled co-workers - Casual office environment - Good pay

Cons

- Benefits are not worth even mentioning, except for perhaps the basic life insurance. You will pay more in medical insurance premiums than you will get paid out due to all of the exceptions. Most clinics give better prices for cash payment than the actual amount you pay for coinsurance + premiums over the course of the year. And there is no 401k matching. - For non-administrative roles, pay is based on billable hours to the client. If the client decides that it is excessive, then they may refuse to pay the company, and you might get docked those hours of pay. If the client doesn't like how long you take on something, you may get your contract pulled, potentially leading to an immediate layoff. - Management frequently underquotes customers, creating pressure to perform work in a certain amount of billable time, despite the necessity of additional review. - Often they do not push back on clients for unreasonable expectations, or when processes are added in excess of the agreed upon statement of work. - The internal documentation process is tedious, and sometimes can take up to 25% of the total time spent on a task. Yet the projected turn-times do not factor that in sufficiently, forcing reviewers to often work unpaid for at least some of that time, or risk reprimand for excessive billing. - There is no budget for overhead. If something is not directly billable to a client's PO, then you usually often have to do it "off-the-books", even if it ends up fixing major issues and saving both the company and client thousands of dollars. - Unstable business model relies heavily on the good graces of the client, and lack of competition from competing firms. - VERY high turnover rate due to the demand of high-standards, but a lack of support or understanding to employees when problems arise.
