Very Toxic

Pros

Pay is competitive if you are in the right cliques!

Cons

Terrible leadership Toxic in the way they treat their employees that are not part of the "Corner Office Club" Under bid large projects drastically to win the business, then when the team cannot deliver because they are way understaffed, they take it out on that staff.

Pros

Good project team members to work with.

Cons

The organization pulls bait and switches to get people on-boarded. They will tell prospects what they want to hear to get them in the door but not follow through (once an employees in the door the pressures off). As many others have indicated management acts like they want input but for the most part it gets filed in the waste basket - really just a ploy to make employees *feel* like they are being listened to in order to attempt to curve turnover. Project teams typically don't run lean as there isn't trust by management for teams to deliver which leads to micro-management and a lot of noise on projects.

Thank you for your candid feedback. Valorem has made massive efforts over the past year to ensure more timely and actionable feedback is given to and taken from our employees. Recently, we have partnered with an employee engagement survey company that has driven multiple company wide initiatives surrounding topics that were identified by employees as pain points within the organization. Some examples of this feedback in action have been our improved US Benefits, Wellness plans, and an enhanced performance review process. All of these were identified as areas of improvement by our staff over the past year and we have pushed to implement solutions. This is a continued effort from all leaders at Valorem and we will continue to listen and drive change as desired by our employees. We also are continually trying to hone the expectations set throughout the recruitment process to make sure they line up with the expectations that leaders have once someone starts. We want to make sure we are giving the support and direction necessary to ensure success out of the people we bring in. Micro-management is never the desired outcome, but more of a collaborative environment with mentorship and guidance.

Leaves Much to be desired!

Pros

They have bikes you can ride, but no one really does. They have a designated parking lot not far from the office. Some 401K match, not great but not awful. You will work multiple 60 hour weeks with out any kind of recognition because that is normal. They talk up their unlimited PTO, but you can only put in a request 60 days out and you have to work around your project times. The busy seasons are in the Spring, Summer, and Fall, I hope you like winter holidays if you and all the other employees can fit in time off and not leave the office empty. There is a keg, but it is on lock down unless your are a few select people including management. They boast about having tickets to the Sprint Arena in downtown KC, but very few tickets are ever offered because they most always goes to Management and the people who are best buds with the CEO and Management team.

Cons

Management. Constant growing pains while company is not growing. Extended periods with out one on one manager interactions. A lot of constant turnover. Uninterested managers, insincere management. Recently we were guaranteed job safety, now they are letting multiple people go. Very "click' like, If you aren't best friends don't expect to be welcomed. Culture is based around drinking. CEO is a bad example to employees and has a huge temper. They boast education but have no structure, plans, or support for employees. No one will have time to mentor you because they are too busy being worked to death. Don't bother thinking outside the box, because they already know how they want things done. There is no real room for advancement. Salary is low compared to KC average. Don't be expect to be viewed as a person, you are a pack animal. You are expected to work 60 or more hours weekly and weekends, this is not uncommon though it should be. Be aware that as a consulting firm their amount of business intake fluctuates.. A LOT.

I understand the pain people feel when the company has to make tough choices to let someone go. While Glassdoor is a place where people can vent, internally we use an anonymous engagement tool where nearly ALL of our people respond with true, actionable feedback. While all companies have their one-off challenges, our climate scores are trending at the upper end of the scale with record setting growth numbers and more to come. Consulting in a high tech firm is not for everyone. It is for those who want to take on new challenges, solve difficult client problems, and be part of a firm that is listening to its people and making a difference. We know we aren't perfect, but we are proud of the culture we have and where we are going. We never like having to part ways with any employee but it does happen and we realize it is hard no matter what.
