Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
they think differently from majority of companies, money does not come first
They really care. If there is an issue, it really is an open door policy and they will listen and work to fix or improve things.
Super intelligent and down to earth
Leadership team is accessible. They do a good job of communicating with the broader company. They keep employee success top of mind. I also appreciate the fiscal diligence that has allowed Veeva to operate and continue to have success without mass layoffs.
Approachable, but still focused in achievinf excellent execution. Willing to admit mistakes and change course
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Managers should be anonymously evaluated twice a year by every employee they manage. There should be anonymous surveys done by a third party company so that employees can express their concerns and situations can be resolved before it's too late.
Communicate and stop avoiding questions. Be clear about your intentions. Tell us why youre doing things this way and how it should benefit the company forward. Open paths for people to work in teams based in other regions.
The CEO is extremely temperamental and the leadership team lives in fear of him. Certain employees have targets on their backs seemingly because the CEO simply doesn't like them. Other employees get nonstop opportunities & promos because he "sees himself in them" (almost always young men).
Not much experience; slow pace

Stop playing politics and improve the quality of the product. Middle managers don't encourage positive feedback to employees.

We have the very worst codebase I have ever seen. Let's stop adding to the tech debt.

the culture itself as first

The way team members show up for each other
Care, notice and Act are what helps Veeva keep the positivity going
Flexibility to work from anywhere
What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Review from Sales Dept
Eliminate middle managers, hire leaders who know what it is that their team does and have a career path for the ambitious.
Have leaders that know what we do on a day to day basis. Know what our customers need and want. Move team members into manager roles, because they are the only ones who know what our products really do.
Please keep an eye out on middle tier managers (and their managers who support them) who bully your employees.
HR isn't there to help employees. They are there to protect the company.
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
how much they pay attention to culture
It really weeds out people that would not be a good fit. There is typically a case assignment that will ferret out people's business / technical / and customer facing skills. That helps ensure you are working with great people.
It was real, discussed real things, and it moved fast
The fact that it gave me a possobility to see what rupe of work I would be doing, and assess if it was a good fit
Many interviews all flowed well, with no awkward moments.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The interview process is extremely long even for the lowest paid jobs.
Stop overselling and be honest. Dont ghost ppl for months
Review from Sales Dept
The whole process takes too long
Review from Engineering Dept
Speed up the process and don't draw it out over months. Have people who actually know what we need interview the people. Quit hiring people from a certain company that already have a relationship with the leadership. No one wants a duplicate of that company....
What makes you most happy at work?
people and the infinite learning possibilities
Interesting, challenging, and varied assignments
When I can help my coworkers, my managers, other teams and our customers.
Being given work which forces you to learn.
Work anywhere! Great people and leadership team.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Veeva is run by woke liars.
Upper level management need to catch up new technologies
Review from Engineering Dept
Projects are bid so low you are over budget and out of time before you even start. The leadership team has no clue what all goes into a project. There is no work life balance for non-managers and no career path. Teams are expected to give everything to a project with no long term goals.
I'm being bullied and HR does nothing to help.
Review from Engineering Dept
Developers are micromanaged into apathy and poor performance. I can't wait to leave this company for somewhere I can breathe.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Get the people who know about the industry and the competition involved in leadership. The ones who know what customers really want and need. The ones that choose to work here because they are driven to make these products better not driven to have fluffy title or padded pay check.
