Pluspunten

Santa Barbara is a great place to live.

Minpunten

Management is clueless and detached. Reorganizations seem to occur regularly at six month intervals, and these lead to three problems: 1. Projects get lost in the shuffle. As an engineer, you have no confidence that what you work on will still be considered a priority in six month's time. 2. Every reorg seems to introduce yet another layer of management. Even as a senior engineer, I'm still five layers from the top. More and more of my time is spent generating reports so that all of my bosses will look productive. 3. Management (especially the newest members) don't seem to know much about the technology they are supposed to be driving. Admittedly, it's arcane stuff, but there's no excuse.

Pluspunten

-Hiring seems egalitarian -The pay was fairly good -Occasional company lunches

Minpunten

-An endless parade of wasteful daily 30-minute meetings... two per day for some people -Very early hours are the norm; most employees start at 6:00-8:00 AM -The workforce is largely dull suburbanites, with 7-8 males for every female -The office has its fair share of unpleasant bully types. Rigid thinking and low education seem common as well. I suspect this is because Veeco has a big military recruitment program, and ever since it bought Ultratech (of San Jose, CA) back in 2017, MAGA types have become more common. It's probably no coincidence how in recent years, the San Jose branch's Glassdoor score has sunk down to near Veeco's national average.
