Pros

Business goals broadly align with the public good (our software, in theory, makes lifesaving drugs available faster).

As far as I can tell, all employees within engineering are treated well.

Salary is decent for any given region, though it is region-dependent.

Positive and inclusive culture, though engineering teams skew heavily male. This is a safe place to work no matter who you are.

Cons

Engineering teams outside of America may have to work with US or Canadian teams, which can imply late nights sometimes.

(Though I have always been encouraged to shift my hours and work flexitime).

My team in particular has had some issues with projects assigned from on high, with short turnarounds and often late design changes. This has caused pressure to work overtime sometimes.

(I understand this is not a regular issue for most engineering teams).

Advice to Management

Management at Veeva is broadly positive. My only advice is to push back on last-minute work. Veeva is a large and heavily regulated organization, so it can't be as agile as everyone wants it to be.
