Velocity Technology Solutions Reviews

Opportunities for progression within the company taken away at last minute and offered to cheap-labour branch office in India. No path for progression for long serving staff looking to progress. Velocity just hires where it's cheapest and squeezes the very most of work out of employees. From speaking to people, none of the long serving staff are compensated fairly for their work. The salaries are not in line with industry standard. No recognition for outstanding work. More and more work offloaded to the team where people get paid the least in the company (service desk) with no wage rises and laughable annual bonuses. Some members of other more specialist teams worked off their feet and made to stay in the office far far longer than expected in order to manage the workload. Some teams are severely understaffed. More and more people are just going to continue to leave, this company is forcing all of it's talent to jump ship to other companies that treat their staff better. Contractors are hired on exorbitant daily rates in order to cover gaps in skills instead of promoting and training existing staff. HR department combined with internal-IT? Some of the transformations of the company are very laughable.

It has become a worse place to work since being taken over by Velocity. Massive increase in needless bureaucracy and assumption that the best practices will always be those currently in use in Minnesota. A "one size fits all" ethos, despite the motivational posters on the wall saying the exact opposite. Salaries nowhere near to keeping up with the increase in the cost of living, despite all the talk of how successful the company is. No training. The senior management claims to be focused on training and development but there is no budget available to pay for it. There seems to a trend for most recruitment for the Glasgow office being focused on remote workers in lower cost global regions instead of based in the office itself. Only finding out that bonuses have been scrapped when it doesn't appear in your payslip. Promises that all staff would go to the annual forum in Florida, which was first postponed and then never mentioned again.
