Understanding for time off with family

No more raises or bonuses if you work for Velocity and not in the company directly. They lay off last minute instead of on advance to give you a heads up.

Cons

-Confused leadership with no clear plan (middle management). -Hollow promises to sales team. No transparency at all. -Every product rushed, Half-done at best. -Repeating failures, and doing nothing to fix it. -Yearning for progress, but stuck in the past. -Lost in the chaos—Enterprise won’t last.
