Pros

The company has built a strong brand and good awareness in the virtualization backup space. Some good people are still there

Cons

1) Huge influence of HR, making key decisions and defining company’s direction, sometime very controversial. 2) Lack of innovation and and ability to address changes in customer demands. Veeam used to bloom during massive virtualization adoption period. With the shift towards cloud technologies, the company failed to come up with any attractive offers, instead, it’s now going backwards and extending support to the legacy systems. Veeam is becoming a very niche player on a stagnant market 3) Ridiculously high targets and the management, who wants to hear only positive news. Sales teams are super stretched, getting lesser pay for more job. 4) Getting less and less customer friendly, overpricing their solutions.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
