Good job to start career but not a good one to grow with

Pros

Casual environment Beer Friday every month Occasional company outings Good work/life balance Modern workplace Good salary to start out of college Unlimited PTO (with manager approval) Able to work from home sometimes

Cons

Very political... top executives are buddy buddy with few people, making others feel like outcasts. If you aren't in the good ole' boy group, then good luck. They are nice to all but they definitely play favorites... ex. certain handshakes, talk to them on first name basis, and get invited to events where they aren't deserving but others that are deserving are left behind. Very flat organization.... No room for growth (unless you are in the good ole' boy group) with limited pay increases.... high turnover is seen because people leave for better opportunities with better pay.

Dear Former Employee, Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve. When our company was founded, our leaders not only built a thriving company but built friendships. The same employees who started with us, are still here today. Naturally, lifelong friendships are formed. With that being said, favoritism regarding pay increases, promotions, and other employment perks are not tolerated. In fact, we promote people based on stellar performance and teamwork rather than tenure. Successfully growing a culture like this requires setting up a system that demonstrates and recognizes contributions and performance on individual and group level. On the downside, it also requires establishing an understanding of consequences, ensuring employees take responsibility and accountability for their performance. Not everyone gets a trophy. We had instances where employees have seen peers getting opportunities they were not receiving and perceiving that as favoritism. On further investigation, it turned out those employees were working extra hours, going above and beyond to earn the confidence of their manager and, ultimately, earning those chances for advancement. But when the boss favors someone in the office without real merit that at its core is unprofessional behavior and is addressed. Again thank you for your review!

Do not be fooled by the decor.

Pros

Beer Friday's and oranges in the fridge.

Cons

The company pays at the very least 15-20k below market value for your job. They expect you to do the work of 20K above your pay grade. The yearly bonus is about 2% unless you are good friends with the person giving you your review. It’s all about who you know and not what you know. Everyone gossips about each other and the turnover rate for jobs is about a year or two. Most employees are looking to leave after 3-6 months of employment because the company gives a facade of having growth opportunity when there is none. There is no yearly bonus that most companies give out and the health benefits aren’t great either… If you go to HR, they would rather fire you than resolve the problem with management. Most of the people in upper management are extremely rude and entitled. If they’re having a “bad” day they scream and shout at you because they are unable to detach themselves from whatever situation they are in and will project their animosity towards their colleagues. The company praises professionalism but they are run by a bunch of over grown children. Work is extremely cliquish and good luck to you if choose to work here. P.S Almost all the positive reviews here are fake because in the last month about 10 people have already left. No one likes it here.

Dear Current Employee, Thank you for your review! At Team Velocity we love data! Our data shows that the median tenure for our employees is 4.7 years while according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the median tenure for workers ages 25-34 is 3.2 years. Looks like we are doing pretty well! Additionally, after a recent employee survey, nearly 80% of employees would recommend us as a good place to work! We are sorry to hear that you feel HR doesn’t resolve any issues and that upper management is extremely rude and entitled. That couldn't be further from the truth. If you're experiencing unprofessional behavior from management or your colleagues, I encourage you to discuss with Human Resources. We make it a priority to care about the well-being of our employees. Again, thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback! As always, we do encourage our employees and candidates to provide their feedback on a regular basis.
