Veeva Systems Developer reviews

The biggest con is poor management. It was better when the company was smaller, but now there are way too many managers all trying to impress their respective managers rather than do their job. They've developed a toxic culture where they expect their employees to behave more like corporate slaves rather than free-thinkers. They have driven away a good number of excellent engineers/managers simply because they were too outspoken or disagreed with their processes. Management is always focused on customers and never on employee success. They would rather hire someone with questionable experience than to raise salary and promote from within. There is a power imbalance between product managers, DEVs and QAs resulting in a constant push for new features rather than fixing current issues. There is a big emphasis on speed rather than quality, resulting in legacy code being littered everywhere. Overall, this is not a company for ambitious people.

If you land on the wrong team it seems it can be terrible. Late friday night releases, working weekends, etc... Unlimited PTO actually means 15 days. I don't really know anyone here who wishes we just didn't have normal vacation time, rather than this ambiguous policy. The message is b/c it's about getting your work done not time. But then managers are told to actually keep things around 15 days. Pay is average, could probably get better somewhere else in Silicon Valley Raises aren't negotiable 401k match is only $2,000 a year.
