HR Nightmare!

Pros

Daily lunch. Excellent pay (for my former position). CEO is an excellent person!

Cons

My manager was inexperienced and made a lot of bad decisions. HR seems inexperienced and seemed to make irrational decisions that led to bigger issues. Management also likes to sweep issues under the rug, in hopes to keep bigger issues from the CEO.

Warning to anyone entering development programs

Pros

Connecting with peers within the program cohort

Cons

I was warned in the hiring process for my development program that not everyone makes it out of bootcamp, but the examples I was given were showing up late and sleeping throughout the workday. I was reassured that I didn't have to worry, so I thought that this wouldn't be a possibility. I received my job offer before graduation and informed other companies that I accepted another offer. At bootcamp they tell you that there's a system for your performance: green, yellow, and red. If you got red, this means that you may be given an extra assignment (truly did not think being fired was an outcome). I was given constructive feedback at bootcamp and spent my time trying to implement that and ultimately received positive feedback at the end. After bootcamp, I was unexpectedly on a call where I was told that this would be my last day at Veeva. This was very confusing for me having experienced positive feedback right before bootcamp ended. It was also humiliating because they emphasized connecting with your peers and building friendships there just for it to all be cutoff suddenly. This didn't just happen to me either. Especially after a rigorous hiring process and an assessment that took me 40+ hours to complete, you would think that they would be able to decide whether you were a good fit for the company well before hiring you. This led me to missed opportunities from the companies whose offers I rejected or process I pulled out of and MONTHS that I could've spent job searching instead. I also signed a lease right before my start date that I am still stuck paying for. Given that these were positioned as early career/ new graduate development programs, I believed that they were invested in your success and helping you grow, but this is clearly not the case.

Pros

The people there were nice. Family oriented people that was happy to work at tech company near home. Which is why they turn a blind eye to what Im writing in my cons.

Cons

If your at the HQ in Pleasanton, your essentially forced to buy the food from the company to help their bottom line with no opt out choice! They'll blow smoke up you as, telling you it's a taxable perk that all companies do, like Facebook and Google. (BS because I've work at both those companies, they don't nickel and dime employees. They write off as business expenses as it should be. Google did this with past xmas gifts but I had the option not to accept the gift at retail cost added to my w2. ) 5200$ / 260 work days = 20$ per meal veeva sold you, for a meal you did or did not have. They let so many good employees \ worker go due to be cheap af and not paying people their worth\market rate. My promotion bump was 7.8% after being there 1yr. I laughed and left a mo later without another gig lined up. WorkDay is generally where their ex employees go since it's down the road and managements treatment of employees and benefits are much better. CEO gives perception he cares but if you've ever had to deal with him, like us in IT did during company calls (often) dude acts like a dic head.
