Thanks for taking the time to post your experience and that you think Veeco is a great place to learn. It's concerning to see the notes about poor management, no work-life balance, and "slave driver." We'd like to work with you to improve. Would you be willing to share more with your HR Partner, me, or Bob Bradshaw? You can reach out to any of us directly, or you can also use our confidential employee hotline. Again, thanks for your feedback and we hope to hear from you. Best, Brenden

Pros

-Hiring seems egalitarian -The pay was fairly good -Occasional company lunches

Cons

-An endless parade of wasteful daily 30-minute meetings... two per day for some people -Very early hours are the norm; most employees start at 6:00-8:00 AM -The workforce is largely dull suburbanites, with 7-8 males for every female -The office has its fair share of unpleasant bully types. Rigid thinking and low education seem common as well. I suspect this is because Veeco has a big military recruitment program, and ever since it bought Ultratech (of San Jose, CA) back in 2017, MAGA types have become more common. It's probably no coincidence how in recent years, the San Jose branch's Glassdoor score has sunk down to near Veeco's national average.
