Veeco - Avoid at all cost

Anonymous employee

Pros

Compensation is average. There really is not much of anything else good that can be said of this company. There are some good products, but service support of those products takes the strategy of trying to squeeze as much money from as little service as possible. Products are purposely designed so that customers will be forced to pay high prices for services they would normally prefer to do for themselves.

Cons

Abusive disrespectful treatment of their suppliers. Some managers are abusive of employees and HR looks the other way. Women are almost exclusively employed only in clerical positions, and are generally not treated with respect, or valued. Those few women in technical positions are not treated fairly or given fair opportunities. Generally the company undervalues key employees. This company is constantly searching desperately for buried treasure. They trash and lose highly profitable business units, if they do not believe there is a huge pot of gold in the near future for that business. Only an outrageous growth business plan is of any interest, so everything but that, gets bled dry and then disposed of. This company is considered toxic by its suppliers, its end customers, and many of its employees.

Pros

Some great people with diverse backgrounds and skills. Good overall team morale and spirit.

Cons

Some of the factories were grade C real estate quality at best. Some managers didn't appreciate or agree with IT goals and the value technology outside product design could benefit the company.

Pros

Open culture where you can challenge and be challenged without fear of reprisal or animosity. There are no politics at the 1st to 3rd level of the company which means people can focus on doing a good job and raising difficult issues so they can be solved. Rewarding environment for performers with lots of internal promotion and formal succession planning. Very strong and effective HR and recruiting team.

Cons

Cyclical industry means tightening the belt when the market drops but a culture of rewarding performance and believing in people means cutting staff costs as a last resort.
