Process
Nice recruiter, but the process was long.
I had a bad interviewer who didn't care about my thought process and didn't give me any feedback on what to try.
I told the interviewer my solution and asked if I should implement it; he said nothing. So, I tried to think and implement a better solution. I ended up getting nothing working.

Veeva Systems Work Experiences
4.0
Tough but Interesting
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Pleasanton, California, United States
July 8, 2020
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).

Remote work done well
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Oxford, England, United Kingdom
August 16, 2024
Pros: Fully remote with well-adapted processes (this has changed for some roles, but not engineering).
Adequate PTO allocation for UK employees.
Decently friendly culture.
Whole company runs lean to avoid layoffs.
Sensible business strategy, likely to still be here in 10 years' time.
Cons: Admittedly, minimal layoffs have been disguised as performance issues in the past.
"Running lean" seems to apply to salary increases too, so teams tend to lose quality talent to other companies without having enough slack to cover the losses.
Waterfall methodology disguised as Agile. Planning is rushed, and then it falls to the engineers to pick up the slack in the implementation.
