Pros

Veeam has a great technology and has a fast, paced, dynamic culture. There is very little red-tape which means that you can just get on with your job without unnecessary procedures blocking your way. The huge growth still makes it exciting and there is a genuine buzz around the place, yet despite the growth Veeam has still maintained its start-up style culture. The social-side is also good, with lots of events and opportunities to get together socially with your local and wider team. Veeam certainly play as hard as they work.

Cons

The 'just get on with it' culture does not appeal to those who prefer to hide behind corporate policies, because there aren't any. This means you have to be self-suffcient and make things happen on your own. This can be a big shock if you are from a big company like Microsoft. The only other con is a lack of any clear career path which is why people leave in the end, not because they don't like it - it's great (see above) - but because they have to leave in the end to progress their careers. To be fair, Veeam sort of expects that and leaving is generally a no-fuss affair unless you go to a competitor.

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.
