Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is average with industry. Profit sharing is above average

Cons

Too many politics in the company. Managers and Directors do not support their employees. Definitely a "good old boy" environment. In my situation the manager was very unprofessional, would send inappropriate emails and loudly criticize his employees in a small office where everyone would hear his ranting. Same manager later promoted to Director and still at Veeco, so Veeco must promote this type of behavior.

Business Outlook

Pros

Team I worked with were fantastic engineers. My immediate management backed me up when I needed it with a difficult customer.

Cons

I was changing to a job which was going to be full time travel. Upper management did not stand up for me against the customer which were using me as a contract negotiation tactic.
