Veeva Systems reviews

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.

Complete micro-management at all levels - The only way they think to get things done is to stand over you. No personal connection from management to employees - you're a warm body to do things. There's no strategy or planning beyond 3 months and the codebase is terrible because of knobs and switches added for every customer feature. Managers berate employees in public spaces, talk down to them in meetings and generally don't have any people skills. Recruitment is a joke and the growth plan to 10000 people by 2025 is absurd. As has been said so many times in reviews... its a toxic environment. Cronyism is rampant. Upper management values length of service over everything.
