Pros

- Great co-workers. Though management varies, your peers are generally fun to be around - Vault experience makes you attractive to other pharma/consulting companies - Solid product that makes Veeva market leader (for good reason)

Cons

- Culture is degrading fast: no more unlimited PTO (now 15 days) and work from anywhere (stay within your time zone or get flagged). This may not matter to new hires, but the extent of these policy changes in a short time period is shocking - Employees can't voice opinion without fear of repercussion. "Doesn't leadership realize people will leave?" That's likely their goal. Layoffs = red flag to investors (not to mention PG already sent companywide email that there will be no layoffs). New strategy: boost attrition and find people to fire - Micromanagement: consultants must post number of hours billed each month on their wiki profile in addition to weekly timesheets. Why this info needs to be public knowledge is known to none except senior leadership. management may also sit in on project stand-ups where they have zero involvement to make sure you're doing your job - Below market pay. Stocks have not grown as expected. It mattered less to me when the culture was A+, but now...

Pros

Large presence in the industry and good-hearted, intelligent, and well-meaning people work there. Stable company, not going to be purchased by private equity and endure large layoffs

Cons

part of their motto is "do the right thing" but that's not applied when it comes to salaries or work-life balance. working weekends and well past normal hours seems to be a regular thing that most people are doing. a manager's solution to my issue of having more work than was feasible to complete was just to work longer days. "Veeva Speed" is a sugarcoated phrase everyone uses to indicate being overworked and initial training is like drinking from a fire hose; this company makes enough money to hire the correct amount of people to do the work and pay them fairly.
