Pros

Great company, good culture, lots of support from management and HR for any personal concerns. Pay is good, they finally embraced 100% remote work.

Cons

Hours and hours of phone calls, every single day. They have pledged to their clients that any technical support case, regardless of the severity or technical experience level, can request a remote support session ( where you control the customers computer ) for their case and these MUST be honored. These calls typically last 1 hour, and can last 3 hours or even longer. There are advancement opportunities for specialization of the software but not as many for new team leads or managers. Senior management is tone deaf to the concerns of the agents. You are encouraged to report any problem, but no action will be taken to alleviate the condition. Elitism and snobbery are common in the engineering teams and reporting it gets you nowhere.

Pros

- Friendly teammates that are willing to help

Cons

Where to begin? - Since starting at Veeam, the internal IT Support team has been cut to a THIRD of it's original size. From an original team of 10+ people, only 3 of the core team remain. Three USA members are left to support over 2,000+ USA employees and try to solve the flood of tickets that arrive in the ServiceDesk queue. - These last layoffs which I was a part of, 1 desktop support engineer, 1 support manager and myself were laid off. - My role was replaced by TWO other service desk analysts in Costa Rica that are getting paid pennies. Both of them combined make less than the salary I had. - Veeam is trying to cut costs anywhere they can, all while making record profits - Technology leadership doesn't listen to input from lower level management on pain points or suggestions on how to improve work-flow or help out the internal IT team - US-based IT employees never received any promotions. All employee promotions from the global IT team happened in Prague / Bucharest offices. - Absolutely no room for career advancement. Managers don't support growth. They silo you into a specific role and work you like a horse.
