      Decent paycheck, not great otherwise

      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.

      Pros

      Small building so easy to get around. People there are nice. There’s always new employees.

      Cons

      There’s always new management and rarely does anyone stay for more than a year or two.

      This is a tough read. Since you've been at Veeco in our Horsham facility for more than 10 years, I'm hoping you've shared your concerns and recommendations for improvement with your leadership team or HR Business Partner. If not, I would encourage you to do that. We're always looking for constructive ways to improve and leaders willing to help us change what you've described for the better. Of course, you can always reach out to Bob Bradshaw at rbradhaw@veeco.com or contact me directly at bwright@veeco.com. Best, B
