Veracross reviews

Out of all of the companies that I have worked for in the past, Veracross is hands down the best environment to be a part of. From the top down, Veracross is defined by collaboration and integrity. Management is constantly working to add benefits (incredible health plan, full holiday break between Christmas and New Years, gym inside of the office and a virtual trainer for remote employees). Compared to other companies I've worked for, the management team is completely transparent, sets clear expectations, and holds periodic town halls to report on company-wide initiatives and goals. Through COVID, management was constantly evaluating the pandemic and the impact on the employees, and made a continuous effort to adjust flexible work policies, time off, and employee communications aimed at making work life balance a main priority of the company. In the day to day, Veracross at its foundation consists of talented team members who elevate one another and work cross functionally to deliver an exceptional product to our clients. With above market compensation, incredible benefits, a huge focus on work life balance, a strong leadership team, a collaborative and team-oriented culture and an incredible product, Veracross is a one-of-a-kind employer.

Veracross has strong roots going back nearly two decades as a family founded and run software business. It has been a testament to those strong foundations that such skilled executive leaders have found it an attractive place to land — along with backing from a PE firm — to take the company to the next level of growth. It's been a wild ride in these last three years but I'm glad to have been a part of it. There is no growth without tradeoffs — especially in the last two years as COVID has reshaped the landscape of private schools and technology companies — but I have been very pleased to witness and participate in the gains the company has made over the last 5+ years I have been here. When I started in 2016, most people (including me) would have said that "people" are the #1 thing that brings employees to and then incents them to stay at Veracross. I think that is still true. For me, it's a combination of the great people (both longtime folks and those that just started today) and the strong and evolving product. I have found these two components have produced a day-to-day job and a longer career trajectory that are deeply satisfying. Speaking of career trajectories, we now have them! A true gain that our growth has brought has been the creation of meaningful career paths across all organizations in the company and increased clarity about how to achieve our personal goals. This has resulted in significantly more opportunities for advancement and it has been my personal experience — as well as what I've observed from others — that managers (both mid-level and executive) are truly interested in their team members' careers, not just how they can benefit the company. There have been several professional development opportunities in the last couple of years (StrenghFinders, agile scrum training, KCS, etc.) for various groups and I'm looking forward to those investments in people continuing. I have and will continue to recommend Veracross to my friends as a great place to work.
