Pros

While my journey may not be identical to others and the circumstances might have changed now, particularly with the new leadership team. I joined Velocity Global back in 2018 as a Finance Manager, and it took them six months to issue the offer after my interview, but looking back, I understand their prudent approach to monitoring expenses during that time, which showcased their responsible management practices. The first thing that struck me at Velocity Global was the unique culture they fostered. It was a refreshing departure from what I had experienced in my previous companies. Few values like mutual trust, independence, and an absence of micromanagement made for a genuinely empowering environment . One of the most significant highlights of my time at Velocity Global was the invaluable opportunity to interact with several mentors who played crucial roles in my professional development. Starting with CEO Ben Wright, Unlike other CEOs I had encountered, Ben was approachable and willing to share insights about the company's long-term vision and strategies. I will forever cherish the time he spent answering my questions. Additionally, the CFO, Greg Thiessen, left a lasting impression on me with his humility and kindness. He trusted and supported our initiatives, providing the necessary resources for us to flourish. My direct managers, Liam Joyce and Alywin Chia, were not just bosses but friends and mentors, always providing guidance, valuable insights, and constructive feedback to help me improve. The team I worked with at Velocity Global was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had the pleasure of collaborating with. Their dedication, professionalism, and camaraderie made every day enjoyable. Looking back, I can confidently say that Velocity Global provided me with the perfect platform to thrive professionally and personally, and for that, I am immensely grateful!!

Cons

Every company has its own set of problems, considering their growth stage, business model and operating environment. For Velocity Global, over the years the focus slowly shifted from serving customers to managing internal employees.

Pros

The company has been through a lot, and some of the older feedback seems tied to past chapters of the business. Right now, there is a clear push to move forward, especially in sales. The focus is on outbound, clearer territories, stronger partnerships, and getting the Pebl brand into the market after the rebrand. The EOR space is very competitive, but it is also a strong market to be in. Pebl has a good product, a strong reputation in the category, and a real opportunity to keep growing. The company is also putting meaningful energy behind technology and AI, which matters in an industry where a lot of providers can start to sound the same. This is a good environment for people who are self-starters. If you like having everything fully mapped out for you, it may be frustrating. But if you are comfortable with some ambiguity and want to have a hand in shaping how things get done, there is a lot of room to make an impact.

Cons

Some processes are still being figured out, and priorities can shift. That can make things feel messy at times. There can also be too many opinions in the room, which occasionally creates a lack of focus. The company has good ideas, but not every idea needs to become a priority. This is also not a clock-in, clock-out environment. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and people need to be comfortable with change. That is not a negative for everyone, but it is worth knowing before joining.

Pros

- Teams are incredibly dedicated, collaborative, and always willing to support one another through challenging transitions. - Strong focus on actively listening to and advocating for customers' needs at the team level.

Cons

- Executive leadership frequently dismisses employee concerns during all-hands calls and relies on empty promises to manage morale. - The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs with zero internal communication or accountability. Employees often only discover colleagues have been let go when they suddenly disappear from communication channels. - Following major organizational shifts, leadership failed to re-align priorities. This created an environment devoid of unified goals, leading to silos and internal division. - Despite the chaotic environment, the frontline employees work incredibly hard but receive little to no recognition or support from upper management.
