Pros

Veeva offers the opportunity to engage in meaningful and challenging work alongside intelligent and talented colleagues. The company’s culture fosters a positive environment, and the compensation package is competitive, providing a strong foundation for employees to thrive.

Cons

My experience at Veeva has been hindered by significant issues with local management in Raleigh. The level of micromanagement is stifling, with every decision, regardless of its significance, requiring approval from management. This lack of trust and receptiveness to staff ideas leaves developers feeling marginalized and demoralized. Furthermore, management’s tendency to prioritize being the “cool boss” often leads to inappropriate joking and belittling remarks, contributing to a toxic work environment. The turnover at lower levels of management in Raleigh is concerning, and the constant shifts in priorities driven by the loudest voices in project management result in incomplete work and a lack of achievement in both speed and quality.

Pros

Large presence in the industry and good-hearted, intelligent, and well-meaning people work there. Stable company, not going to be purchased by private equity and endure large layoffs

Cons

part of their motto is "do the right thing" but that's not applied when it comes to salaries or work-life balance. working weekends and well past normal hours seems to be a regular thing that most people are doing. a manager's solution to my issue of having more work than was feasible to complete was just to work longer days. "Veeva Speed" is a sugarcoated phrase everyone uses to indicate being overworked and initial training is like drinking from a fire hose; this company makes enough money to hire the correct amount of people to do the work and pay them fairly.
