Pros

Good benefits, fair pay and good people. The smart people in this company is the only thing that keeps it in business. Managers should should not take credit for this as they haven't earned it.

Cons

Poor management is rampant at Veeco, it prevents great people from working to their best potential. Cut the fat and let the smart people do the work. Managers often get in the way of the people who actually need to do the work. In many cases the managers are completely redundant!

Thanks for posting a review of your experience at Veeco. Your comments about your view of management are concerning and tough to read. We want to improve, and we'd like your help to that - but we need to know a little more so we can work to make things better. There are a few ways we can do this. First, I'm happy to talk with you.

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.
