Pros

Very sharp people, willing to help and explain technical challenges. Each division may have a range of experiences depending on the individual but personally, I have found it both empowering and a fun/challenging environment thanks to a great manager. Learning a range of cutting edge technologies from GaN Power/RF, VCSEL and microLED to EUV mask blanks, STT-RAM and more.

Cons

None really, but its more of a macro, industry-wide issue that needs to attract new talent. Lots of employees are super smart and clearly loyal -- many with 20+ years of experience, some even 30! A positive sign is seeing young research scientists and engineers who have recently joined. Will help retain our edge in this global competitive environment…they are the future!

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.
