Pros

The Ceo. Great hire with Anand. Hoping he sees the issues with the culture and turns it around but doubtful.

Cons

Extremely toxic culture. If you want to sit on 5+ hrs of forecast calls like its the 80s this is the place for you. Enterprise deals do not close in 30 days. Stop asking me to call the partner multiple times a week to get an update on a $20k deal at a big name account. All it is doing is annoying the partner reps. The health insurance is terrible. They don't cover anything. Had a surgery and was told to do 8 weeks of PT 3x per week. Insurance covered 10 total visits. TEN!!! Asked HR to step in and help here for which they replied 'there's nothing they can do'. Finally, comp. Not only does Veeam pay under market value, they will find anyway they can to take money out of your pockets. First red flag was when the sales teams were docked 25% of a multi year deal to give to the renewals team. You read that right. A net new customer buying a 3 year deal and 25% of the deal was taken from the sales team and given to the renewals team who did nothing to help close it. The final straw is closing 7 figure deals and only getting quota credit for 25% of the deal. It's astounding a company can allow someone to work and close a deal paid up front (no financing) and the sales team not get properly compensated on it. To give you perspective, this took what should have been 11k in commission for this deal down to $2k, while the leaders take a $4mil deal to the board.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
