      Good Company, Flexible Position, Good People, Not Perfect

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Full Time Remote, good products and strong position in market (team dependent) makes working on the client side pleasant since there are a lot of Veeva advocates within life sciences. Organizational Structure is decently flat for a big company. Internal mobility is decent. Company is profitable, stable, and tightly managed. Global company with opportunities to work with interesting people from around the world.

      Cons

      periods of high intensity up to 80 hour weeks for multiple weeks in a row. Large company bureaucracy. Paltry entry-level pay for associate consultants. Now requiring that associate consultants move to Boston/NYC despite the rest of the company working remotely. Will hire a new entry level consultant - put them through bootcamp and fire them two weeks in. Clearly a callous and unethical way to treat entry level employees. They cite bringing in the best people but pay poorly in comparison to other service based entry level positions.

      Great for New Grads But Not Everyone Else

      Pros

      - Veeva has really good new grad programs for sales, professional services and engineering functions. If you do well in those programs, you can be placed with a good permanent role. - Veeva has a huge head start in the life sciences market and no clear competitors even close to them. It’s really their cake to take. - Veeva has some of the most passionate and involved executives I’ve ever seen. Executive leadership team knows all the details of what’s going on and is engaged in all kinds of detailed discussions that you won’t see at other companies. - The processes and structure of the company is really thoughtfully designed and they don’t do anything without good reasons behind it. - “Do the Right Thing” is part of their core values and they do take that to heart and tries to do the right thing the right way. Although as you’ll see in my cons section they also abuse this value to justify things that aren’t right IMO

      Cons

      - The pay is extremely low compared to other first class SaaS companies, probably around 60-70% of what Salesforce, Workday or ServiceNow pays. And they have this stock option component of the total compensation but the strike price is at market value so in the past few years the stock options have been worthless since the stock price have been going down. - “Do the Right Thing” core value is always used as an excuse for doing what’s right for Veeva and it doesn’t matter if it actually hurts employees. I often hear “Do the Right Thing” used as the core value if they need to make a decision that might adversely impact employees. - Veeva does not care about your career aspirations, or growth, etc. They will not hesitate to make changes that will ruin your career and will not consult your preference. You are on your own. They claim there’s a great internal mobility program but in reality you don’t really have a choice and your executive leaders already pre-determine which group you can go into if you want to move internally and you’re forbidden to have any exploratory conversations outside of that decision. - You have no autonomy because executives are into every little detailed decision you make and you really don’t have much say. - Hiring is extremely difficult. The hiring manager has to do a ton of things that they don’t have to at other companies such as sourcing their own candidates or setting the offer salary. Each offer also has to be approved by the CEO. Because of how difficult this process is, unfortunately some hiring managers will embellish with misleading information or say things that are blatantly false.

      Muddy goals

      Pros

      They hire smart people. Social issues they work towards are encouraging.

      Cons

      They do not have work life balance. They look for people near hubs and say “work anywhere” but favor employees who go to the office in terms of advancement. The people they have let go do not have a pattern. Favorites are picked. If you are considering working at Veeva… please know that people who are successful work 24/7, do not use their sick or PTO time, and management is difficult to get in touch with.
