Veeva Systems Work Experiences

Lots of work for little reward

Associate Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pleasanton, California, United States

Pros: - Free lunch - Work from anywhere (within 2 timezones) - Flexible with when you work - Few meetings

Cons: Expectations are confusing, and tasks can be thrown at you at times that require you to work later than expected. Hours are flexible, but it always seems like there is more to do than can get done. Build times are really slow; sometimes you end up waiting for long periods of time.

Pros: The interview process for software engineers is pretty rigorous, making it impossible for mediocre developers to get hired. Reasonable/not very demanding work load for competent developers. Free lunches save money and time. Good upper management people. Industry leader (helps with new products penetration). Stocks constantly increase after earning reports every quarter.

Cons: On the flip side, other more well-known (consumer-products tech companies) are targeting the same candidate pool. Having difficulty hiring the top 1% to 0.1% of developers.
