Pros

Challenging company with no chance of boredom as fast environment to work in. Not a place for the meek or lazy. If you can handle excessive work load and learn self reward rather than being recognized by management for hard work. I find myself capable of prioritizing my own work load to only the important items that affect deliverables.

Cons

Not enough resources as management believes in lean staff and overworking them. Projects and new products are always under staffed, under managed, and unrealistic time lines for completion. This always leads to fixing errors and design issues over and over again.

Pros

Good Technology that is dying due to resignations of all the amazing technology guys. Good Engineers that are resigning every week due to zero bonus, negative growth (promotions and then demotions due to reorg) and 60+ hours work week.

Cons

Worst workplace I have ever worked for. This company is full of greedy, arrogant VPs who are continuously lying to senior management regarding market share, product performance, competitive scenario, customer feedback etc. just to keep their job safe. Huge investments and failures with ALD (Freemont Acquisition), Power Electronics, PSP (Horsham Acquisition) are clear example of that clueless-ness of Senior Management and deceitful nature of VPs/ GMs. Candidates should think 1,000 times before joining this wannabe Semiconductor company in East Coast. In the beginning, It may offer good salary to grab talents from Silicon Valley but then employees get stuck with incompetent management, zero bonus, constant fear of lay offs and negative morale. 3 big lay offs in last 6 months, 30+ resignations in last 3 months and multiple rejected offers are clear example of the ugly situation at Veeco. Read all the reviews on Glassdoor (except fake ones), talk to past employees before joining this company and if you have already joined this deathbed then try to run as fast as you can and as quickly as you can !
