Pros

Good people around - good technology and lots of opportunity to learn, great bonus when there is profit

Cons

No career growth opportunity, average salary and benefits, continuous restructuring practice that often cause significant lay off - No job security. Moreover, excessive political and toxic environment - If you are in good book of higher management - you are good - otherwise you will be out - no matter the performance.

Pros

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

Cons

-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.
