Vera Solutions

Vera’s people-first culture emanates in everything we do. Every year, Vera runs a company-wide Recognition Awards initiative in which staff nominate peers who best exemplify each of Vera’s values–Impact, Excellence, Sustainability, Teamwork, and Leadership. The winners each select a nonprofit organization they’re passionate about and Vera donates at least 1% of its annual profits to the selected organizations. Vera also runs an annual Rising Leaders Program, which provides targeted leadership development training for up-and-coming leaders in the company. All Vera staff are eligible for paid sabbaticals when they reach tenures of 3 years (one-month paid sabbatical) and 7 years (two-month paid sabbatical), and most staff take at least one sabbatical, whether to focus on family, wellness, adventure, or entrepreneurial side projects. Vera has publicly committed to Equal Work for Equal Pay and put in place 100% transparent and equitable compensation across the company. The vast majority (>70%) of Vera’s staff come from underrepresented groups, which is quite unique in the technology sector.
