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

- Friendly teammates that are willing to help

Cons

Where to begin? - Since starting at Veeam, the internal IT Support team has been cut to a THIRD of it's original size. From an original team of 10+ people, only 3 of the core team remain. Three USA members are left to support over 2,000+ USA employees and try to solve the flood of tickets that arrive in the ServiceDesk queue. - These last layoffs which I was a part of, 1 desktop support engineer, 1 support manager and myself were laid off. - My role was replaced by TWO other service desk analysts in Costa Rica that are getting paid pennies. Both of them combined make less than the salary I had. - Veeam is trying to cut costs anywhere they can, all while making record profits - Technology leadership doesn't listen to input from lower level management on pain points or suggestions on how to improve work-flow or help out the internal IT team - US-based IT employees never received any promotions. All employee promotions from the global IT team happened in Prague / Bucharest offices. - Absolutely no room for career advancement. Managers don't support growth. They silo you into a specific role and work you like a horse.
