Veeva Systems Work Experiences

Tough but Interesting

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pleasanton, California, United States

Pros: I worked at Veeva Systems for 3 years. Pros of working here, sorted by most important to me: * My coworkers were very sharp. * The lunch meals were amazing and vegetarian-friendly. * The location was ideal (only a 20-minute commute on the scenic 680).

Cons: The tech stack was "enterprisey" and a lot of the work was not that interesting, at least for the first 4 or so months while I was getting acquainted with the codebase. Things did get better as I begun to understand and appreciate the business logic, but always, the work was very demanding. Also, I felt I was slightly underpaid (then again, the stock did very well).
