    What’s it like working at Vela Diagnostics?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Vela Diagnostics appreciate the good work/life balance, with no expectation of working overtime, and the relaxed environment that allows for smoking breaks, coffee breaks, and flexibility with start times. The company also appreciates young talents without experience, providing opportunities for growth.

    However, there are potential challenges, such as indications of internal politics and the importance of relationships with upper management over capability. The company experiences high turnover, leading to knowledge gaps after employees resign. Some reviewers noted a short-term focus in planning, resulting in potential resource wastage, and concerns about the HR function not being as effective as in other companies. Additionally, some reviewers mentioned questionable business practices, potentially due to the need for the company to be 'creative' to survive.

    Not a company to have a career
    The good thingsOn the surface with the boss around, your colleagues would be friendly with you and exhibit positive attitude. However, strong under table politics is present.
    The challengesCapability is not important in this company. Relationship with the upper management is. If you do not have a good relationship with the management team, you would not get the basic respect and fairness that one deserves. A highly problematic company that their HR tries to hard sell (be it online or offline). Beware and don't be the next victim.

    Flexible Hours, Good Benefits
    The good thingsSlow paced. No pressure to perform. Management is quite relaxed. Smoking breaks and coffee breaks are allowed. It's also acceptable to come in office late.
    The challengesSales are slow and not picking up. Turnover is very high. Knowledge gaps after people resigned. Some business practices are quite dodgy but guess company needs to be \"creative\" to survive.
