Pros

Velir is a fabulous place for liberal people that care about recycling, LGBTQ rights, inclusion and just simply being kind to each other.

Cons

Upper management is inexperienced in the act of running a technology company. Often doesn't see the forest for the trees and focuses energy on minutia instead of addressing the real issues.
