Pros
- Nice new HQ building in Pleasanton - Really tasty, healthy free lunches and snacks - Decent work/life balance most of the time - Fitness classes, free bicycles to borrow - Growing company in a hot market
Cons
- No internal advancement opportunities - Below-market rate salaries and pay - So much toxic middle management - CEO struggles with social interactions; doesn't really "get" people - Whole C-suite seems disconnected to what's happening on the floor - Glass and bamboo ceiling in full effect Your experience at Veeva entirely depends on your manager—and there are some terrible ones who have ingratiated themselves with leadership. These people are just biding their time waiting for their options to vest. You job will inevitably be to stroke their delicate egos and to tow the line. If you actually care about building a great product, avoid Veeva.
