Pros

Veeam is the leader in Backup and Replication software. Disruptive software advancement and a global outreach provided opportunities and experience commensurate with growth industries. No longer a startup, Veeam has the resources and drive to lead this sector of the industry. Benefits and compensation were chincy for the first year, but tenure showed reasonable pay increases and potential for reimbursement for certifications relative to your current role. Relocation and severance accommodations are made available when applicable.

Cons

Growing fast means lots of changes, and even some inconsistent practices. If you are looking for stability or are unable to stretch beyond your comfort zone you may get much out of your time here. Much of IT and Sales had become metrics driven, and with the expansion comes a loss of the 'small business' or 'family' feel as well as some unreasonable expectations. High pressure and ongoing stress is the norm. Alcohol is the libation of choice, expect to feel out of place if you are not a 'party' person. Depending on your role, be prepared to sacrifice your personal life.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
