Pluspunten

Typically I would say the pay is a pro, but Veeam underpays staff compared to competitors, and payroll manages to mess that up a few times a year. There is not a single manager at Veeam who can concisely explain your compensation plan within 60 seconds because it is purposely convoluted and ever-changing.

Minpunten

Things have really changed at Veeam since they were purchased by an investment firm. Veeam is severely understaffed, and tenured employees are leaving in droves - it's so bad that they are offering double the referral bonus. You know it's a crisis when a multi-billion dollar organization that clings so tightly to their purse to the point that they will short an employee $40 desperately begins to offer more cash to bring in warm bodies. You will be expected to take on more work than you can possibly handle. It's absolutely insane that the only directive from management is "work harder, do more, faster, or else you will either not get paid or get fired" Yes, this must be ultimate work environment, who would say no to a job offer here? Your employment status is tied to metrics. Your goal is tied to a dollar amount. If you exceed the given revenue target, yet do not meet these metrics, you will be referred to HR. You will not receive the compensation you are entitled to. How does that bode for employee morale? They threaten to fire us for not working "enough" even if we hit the monetary targets assigned by the almighty in their ivory tower. All they want is MORE than you have done or could possibly do, and they want it FASTER than you can do it, they PUNISH you for not being a machine. They literally threaten to not pay what you've earned unless you are on the phone for a minimum amount of time. This is the 21st century and most people communicate via email but the out of touch, ignorant, power tripping executives need to see that you spent time on a phone call. The people making these demands haven't closed a sale in a decade or more. Management is an absolute joke and only acts as a filter between us lowly employees complaining of mistreatment and the fat cats who graciously send out "congratulations" emails to reps who close large deals from their "home office" while also constantly talking about "getting everyone back in the office". Our department exceeded the 2020 annual target by nearly 30% Employees in received a 2% increase in pay as a reward. It is a nightmare. Human employees are not factory machines.

Pluspunten

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Minpunten

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.
