Pros

Cool company swag - if you’re into that Some really smart, hardworking folks Many other do-ers are happy to help out if needed 1% of salary to use towards charities of your choice Reimbursement of up to $500 for health/wellness related spending Recent 5% pay increase for most employees to try and get salaries closer to market rate and hopefully cut down on number of employees being recruited away on a daily basis Having Veeva on your resume will help you to get a better job with much better pay as the company is large and recognized in the industry.

Cons

Pay is inconsistent between employees in the same role. They ask your salary history for your entire career back to college. They’ll then use that to come in pennies over your current base pay and throw in a few stocks. There’s no real range per role, experience is irrelevant. They just want to get the best employees at the lowest possible salaries. Veeva break between Christmas and New Year’s is a great idea if you actually get to be off during that time. I’d expect to work at some point during it. Unlimited PTO is not unlimited - you’re reminded frequently that you should only be taking 2-3 weeks if you’re in the US. And honestly work load doesn’t allow you take much more anyways. Hours are long, little to no work life balance. Expect to be texted during your vacation/on PTO. So many meetings - expect meetings 6+ hours per day often Hard work is rewarded by more work & longer hours. And if you get to move up, you’ll get to prove yourself and do the higher level work for a year before actually getting promoted. You’re constantly proving yourself and always behind in comp for your effort/output. Hiring for many positions to try and fill the holes on the team but the interview process is long and drawn out. No one is ever good enough as they’re looking for a unicorn. In the meantime the current employees burn out waiting for the new employees to come.

Pros

“Unlimited” pto (it is not limited as you are not allowed to take extra time during Q4 to artificially inflate working hrs that quarter, and management is incredibly hostile to taking time off, also under staffing in projects makes it impossible to be off) Ability to work from anywhere essentially Nice freebies truly not many pros as the salary compensation is below market rate and billable hrs are used as a method to boast this (yet these are not guaranteed, vary greatly by project, and if in the CDP program do not start until having worked 13months)

Cons

Lack of direction from management Unrealistic expectations, especially when lack of any real training is taken into account Lower level associates will be marked out as the scapegoat for someone else’s mistakes The sense of needing to immediately know something instead of being able to ask others for guidance “Drink the coolaide” mentality where everything must be great within the company Lack of space to really question things or have your own thoughts Sense of backstabbing, where problems are only given to upper management to then all be told as a laundry list of complaints to employees without the ability to improve Your success is not made by your ability to work but instead your ability to please those around you and get them to like you
