Pros

Working at Veeam as a pre-sales Senior Systems Engineer is a highly rewarding experience due to the company's inclusive culture and the extensive exposure to cutting-edge technology. The role offers a unique perspective on the importance of backup solutions, which are surprisingly not boring because of the diverse technologies they encompass. In today's digital age, backup is incredibly crucial, and Veeam's innovative approach ensures that you are always at the forefront of technological advancements. The collaborative environment and the opportunity to work with a variety of systems make this position both challenging and fulfilling

Cons

While working at Veeam as a pre-sales Senior Systems Engineer is generally a positive experience, there are a few challenges to consider. One of the main cons is the steep learning curve; you need to get up to speed very quickly due to the vast amount of information to digest. This can be overwhelming at times, especially when trying to keep up with the latest technological advancements and understanding the intricacies of Veeam's comprehensive backup solutions. However, with dedication and support from the inclusive team, these challenges can be managed effectively.

Pros

The health insurance was decent and the job was fully work from home. That's about it.

Cons

Inconsistent pay structure across the department, there were team leads making (in some cases significantly) less money than their direct reports and there were differences in pay as much as $20k to $30k between engineers doing the same work on the same team. That number is not an exaggeration. Management did not believe in properly staffing teams to meet the increasingly heavy workloads being placed upon them, whilst at the same time tying meagre pay raises that were markedly below cost of living increases to performance goals that were deliberately set to be next to impossible to achieve. Even the so-called bare minimum requirements required a level of work that other places would have labelled as satisfactory. This led to chronic burnout and stress that caused multiple people to either quit or go out on medical leave for extended periods of time. Team leads cared, but almost everyone above them either did not or did but were powerless to do anything about it. Senior management started offshoring support around late 2022/early 2023 by only hiring engineers in Costa Rica and India for both new growth positions and to replace engineers in existing support locations as they left due to worsening conditions. People who had been with the company since the early days of its time in the US left because the company had lost sight of what made it special and how it had gotten there while it pursued AI pipedreams and raising the company's net worth at the expense of discarding employees like a used baby wet wipe.
