Pros

I think the pros and cons really depend on your team, but this is my experience: - Lot of autonomy and opportunities in my job. - Pay is good for where I live. - Company provides everything you need to WFH including monitors, Bose headphones, office chair, etc. - Easy to get PTO approved, unlimited sick time (you just can't abuse it). - More holidays than most US companies including "Veeva break". - Relatively good health insurance, HSA match, fitness reimbursement. - Relatively good US maternity leave (12 weeks paid + optional 12 weeks unpaid). - Company stock performing well. - Teammates are really smart, high-performing, and helpful. - You get to work with interesting people from all over the world. - Solid products that are helping the world of healthcare. - Many of the cons that people listed in other reviews were not my experience. For example I haven't had to work overtime and I've had no problem doing business travel during business hours. That may come down to having a good manager.

Cons

- If starting at mid/senior level, the culture is pretty sink-or-swim. You have to be ambitious to grow as you don't get a lot of guidance. - Pay is not great if you live in a HCOL area. - 401k could be better. - 3 weeks of PTO is pretty low. - They got rid of the education reimbursement. - Pushing AI too hard with no acknowledgement of its harms (for example, harms to the environment, water scarcity etc). - When they added "Hardworking Company" to the company values I rolled my eyes. The CEO and some leaders seem to pressure everyone to work too hard. If you don't have a good manager you probably feel this pressure.

Pros

Large presence in the industry and good-hearted, intelligent, and well-meaning people work there. Stable company, not going to be purchased by private equity and endure large layoffs

Cons

part of their motto is "do the right thing" but that's not applied when it comes to salaries or work-life balance. working weekends and well past normal hours seems to be a regular thing that most people are doing. a manager's solution to my issue of having more work than was feasible to complete was just to work longer days. "Veeva Speed" is a sugarcoated phrase everyone uses to indicate being overworked and initial training is like drinking from a fire hose; this company makes enough money to hire the correct amount of people to do the work and pay them fairly.
