"Bad local management" doesn't sound great. Nor do comments about lousy HR and finance and not caring about employee welfare. To improve, we'd like to know more so we can improve - and we hope you're willing to share so we can get better together. Please consider connecting with whoever you're most comfortable with - your manager, HR partner, Bob Bradshaw (head of HR) or you can even use the Veeco Hotline to report your concerns (you can find information on the hotline on myVeeco). Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

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.
