Pros

* Great product(s) to work with, pace of development is excellent, always fresh new content being released for the captive user audience. * Good benefits and perks for UK staff (not sure about other regions). * Left to your own devices - you need to be an adult to work here, there is very little micro-management, so if you need to be looked after or mothered, then Veeam isn't for you. The business depends on a crop of staff coming through the front door that have the experience, courage and skills sets to do the job from the get-go! * Company is making a concerted effort to engage with the troops - focus groups and feedback are making appearances which is excellent. * Keen to develop staff - dedicated Microsoft/AWS/etc training courses are a regular occurrence. * Middle-management recognise success, whether that be a pat on the back, an award or shout out during QBRs. Keen to announce the troops success rather than collect the kudos themselves.

Cons

* Need to stand on your own two feet - there is a dedicated "new starter" training at HQ, but other than that you need to figure out the job for yourself (hence the requirement for an experienced head on experienced shoulders). * Sparse team across the UK limits colleague interaction - not a major problem, but doesn't have the "office-vibe atmosphere" as everyone is pretty much road based (goes with the business model and being connected to the customer base). * Dont expect to see your manager unless something has gone very very well - OR - very very badly.

Pros

- Friendly teammates that are willing to help

Cons

Where to begin? - Since starting at Veeam, the internal IT Support team has been cut to a THIRD of it's original size. From an original team of 10+ people, only 3 of the core team remain. Three USA members are left to support over 2,000+ USA employees and try to solve the flood of tickets that arrive in the ServiceDesk queue. - These last layoffs which I was a part of, 1 desktop support engineer, 1 support manager and myself were laid off. - My role was replaced by TWO other service desk analysts in Costa Rica that are getting paid pennies. Both of them combined make less than the salary I had. - Veeam is trying to cut costs anywhere they can, all while making record profits - Technology leadership doesn't listen to input from lower level management on pain points or suggestions on how to improve work-flow or help out the internal IT team - US-based IT employees never received any promotions. All employee promotions from the global IT team happened in Prague / Bucharest offices. - Absolutely no room for career advancement. Managers don't support growth. They silo you into a specific role and work you like a horse.
