Pros

Good clients, great resume builder, the talent is really good, good for first or second job in a career

Cons

People are sometimes promoted into management positions with no experience, just because youre good at you job doesn't mean you'll be a good manager (like someone else here said), c-levels are good people but inexperienced, no clear career path, poor communication

Pros

Velir routinely takes on big, complex web projects, and is incredibly thoughtful in fleshing out functional requirements, and does very mature development work. Awesome group of people there — both leadership and staff — it's not easy to get hired at Velir, but that's a good thing. They tend to only hire really smart people, and it's good to be surrounded by others that you can learn from. The amount I learned from the time I started was immense — not sure I've ever grown professionally as much as when I was at Velir.

Cons

Work / life balance can at times be tough, but this is typical for web agencies — management, though, likes to do cool stuff for employees who end up having to work overtime (and the CEO is a Cirque du Soleil nut, and those outings are a blast). Largely a .NET shop — not a con for everyone, but not my cup of tea.
