The CEO is a problem

Pros

People at Veeva have done well as the business has performed

Cons

I have never been at a company where the employees live in such fear of the leader. Veeva's CEO is possibly the worst executive I have even encountered. I do not dispute the fact that he has helped the company get to where it is today. However, there is a cult like fear of the CEO at this company. It is also starting to trickle down to the senior executives and their approach. It is very sad to me that this company has become such a horrible place to work and it is also sad that the employees do not even realize that there are so many better companies out there to work at.

CEO is an Unhinged Disgrace

Pros

Veeva's growth prospects look rosy for the next 18-24 months.

Cons

Veeva's CEO is intolerantly devoted to his own opinions and prejudices becoming more unhinged every day. Derogatory statements, childish communication, and micromanagement is an unspoken core value at HQ. GMs, SVPs, and VPs are shaky puppets, strung on loose string, dancing to the tune of the maniacal chief puppeteer for a buck. Bucks flow freely while VEEV reported earnings explode and executives turn a blind eye to the inner chaos. Many are leaving.....more will follow and the house of cards will fall. 18-24 months of growth before catastrophic failure ensues without stern intervention. Join Veeva to make a buck for a few months. But, be prepared to kiss your integrity, creativity, and humanity goodbye. Avoid Veeva until the Board intervenes and installs a new CEO.

Pros

Teammates and other boots on the ground coworkers are generally nice, supportive, and collaborative. Everybody feels like, well, we're all in this together, we may as well try make the best of the situation.

Cons

Management is poor from the front-line on up, and this is especially true of those who have been there for years and were elevated to management without any previous management or leadership experience. Perceived appearance of promoting only those that get along with upper management is the reality. Contrary to what they say their company values are, what they do is foster a culture of meanness and bullying. Leadership just doesn't care about anything except keeping their customers happy at the expense of their human resources. And the stock price. Everybody cares about the stock price.
