Pros

-The training process is thorough -Several people on various teams have encouraged me to reach out to them with questions I have -Coworkers and management seem adept at their jobs and hard working -Seems to be upwards mobility potential -Benefits are good

Cons

-The pay is average or below industry standard, but not bad -There's a whole lot of moving pieces to make this company work, but I feel like it could be optimized-particularly by combining more processes into less platforms (currently way too many platforms that their services run through) -The 'unlimited PTO' policy probably does not get used to its fullest benefit since you have to pile work onto another coworker to do so. -The disconnect from the new company acquisition (Shield GEO) within the leadership teams is palpable, even as a new employee

Hello fellow teammate, Thanks for taking the time to write this review. We have to own the fact that our salaries here at Velocity Global are average, and we do this intentionally. 90% of startups fail because they overspend. In trying to keep up with the Joneses, they fail to exercise fiscal discipline. As "owner-employees", it is all of our responsibility to make sure we are being frugal and not overspending. When Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Uber and Tesla were startups, they were very frugal as well, often times asking employees to take a pay cut to join. It is only after they got bigger and went public that they adjusted their pay northwards. This is because they were extremely fiscally responsible in their early startup days, which ensured they had enough money to go the distance. As a startup we are trying to follow the blueprint they left behind for the world to see. And please know that we are actively consolidating processes and systems. We can only move so fast though because change management is real. But we hear you. Unlimited PTO is, well, what it is. In order for it to work effectively we need to hire faster and spread out the work. We are firing on all cylinders -- for sure we will get there, just give us a little more time. We are new at acquisitions stage right now. Shield GEO was just the second acquisition. The road has been bumpy. We have room to grow here. And, we will. This year we plan to acquire more companies. As you know, when we acquire new companies, we get the opportunity to evaluate our processes, systems integration and all the good work that comes with streamlining business. Just give us a bit of time. Thanks again for all you do to make us better every day. Keep giving us your feedback and we will continue to perfect our game until we eventually win.

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.
