Pros

Good career start if you have just graduated. I would never thought about working in IT if it wasnt for Veeam, now i have good connections network and can apply for much better positions in other companies. good commissions 2-3 times a year

Cons

The more company grows the more it becomes a corporate machine that chews up its employees. Constant meetings, constant monitoring, junior management knows every day how may calls/emails/skype convos you've done, what non-work related website you have browsed etc, total feeling of big brother which is awful. No time for proper sales or initiative, you just get kicked for everything, work never finishes and you just have to learn to forget about it and go home, otherwise you would have to live in the office. I still have the need to stay in the office till 9-10 pm to cpmplete all tasks and reports not really related to actula sales process. I have 4 junior "bosses" that would always kick me and remind that i need to do tasks. Pay: generally lower than medium depending on the position. Very aggressive sales, young people's energy is being used full throttle, which inevitably causes people ot burn out rather soon.

Pros

Typically I would say the pay is a pro, but Veeam underpays staff compared to competitors, and payroll manages to mess that up a few times a year. There is not a single manager at Veeam who can concisely explain your compensation plan within 60 seconds because it is purposely convoluted and ever-changing.

Cons

Things have really changed at Veeam since they were purchased by an investment firm. Veeam is severely understaffed, and tenured employees are leaving in droves - it's so bad that they are offering double the referral bonus. You know it's a crisis when a multi-billion dollar organization that clings so tightly to their purse to the point that they will short an employee $40 desperately begins to offer more cash to bring in warm bodies. You will be expected to take on more work than you can possibly handle. It's absolutely insane that the only directive from management is "work harder, do more, faster, or else you will either not get paid or get fired" Yes, this must be ultimate work environment, who would say no to a job offer here? Your employment status is tied to metrics. Your goal is tied to a dollar amount. If you exceed the given revenue target, yet do not meet these metrics, you will be referred to HR. You will not receive the compensation you are entitled to. How does that bode for employee morale? They threaten to fire us for not working "enough" even if we hit the monetary targets assigned by the almighty in their ivory tower. All they want is MORE than you have done or could possibly do, and they want it FASTER than you can do it, they PUNISH you for not being a machine. They literally threaten to not pay what you've earned unless you are on the phone for a minimum amount of time. This is the 21st century and most people communicate via email but the out of touch, ignorant, power tripping executives need to see that you spent time on a phone call. The people making these demands haven't closed a sale in a decade or more. Management is an absolute joke and only acts as a filter between us lowly employees complaining of mistreatment and the fat cats who graciously send out "congratulations" emails to reps who close large deals from their "home office" while also constantly talking about "getting everyone back in the office". Our department exceeded the 2020 annual target by nearly 30% Employees in received a 2% increase in pay as a reward. It is a nightmare. Human employees are not factory machines.

Mass Exit of Employees

Pros

Decent Benefits Close knit teams

Cons

The decline in Veeam's corporate environment has been absolutely astonishing. Leadership and upper management are constantly lying to their employees, handing out false promises and creating an environment that has forced a mass exit in all departments. Even with the mass exits and constant employee feedback there has been zero effort to make changes. Instead they refuse to hire backfills and punish the employees that have chosen to stay with more work, zero promotion or recognition and a lack of even acknowledging that there is a corporate issue. It is obvious they are getting ready to sell and have no interest in the employees that have kept the company's wheels turning. On top of all that, they send out weekly emails of the same revolving upper management who continue to somehow gain promotions while the rest of us suffer.
