Pros

Teamwork focused, collaboration,and continuous and quality improvement.

Cons

Does not utilize currently workers talents by denying internal hiring for a lateral poaition. Instead would rather a new person to fulfill the role.

Thanks for sharing your feedback about Veeco. I'm pumped to see you highlight teamwork, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Not so pumped to see the perspective on internal hiring. This is certainly something we support. Have you spoken to your manager or HR Partner? Or, you could reach out to me directly at bwright@veeco.com. I'd welcome the opportunity to hear more if that's an option for you. Thanks again for making a material difference at Veeco. Brenden

Pros

1. Great collaboration between each group (engineering, marketing, sales, operations) 2. Company is engaged in a product strategy that is fueling growth. 3. Can do attitude at all levels of the organization. It feels energized like a startup.

Cons

Some of the IT tools need to be updated/strengthened- investments are underway to address.

Pros

Some good technical people as you will find in any technology company

Cons

Many! I will sincerely warn any new aspiring young research talent to stay away, particularly if you are already doing well elsewhere. The management has no clue or accountability towards its employees. They would even hire for a position in a dying business unit only to layoff the newly hire within 2 years of employment so that they can save on severance pay. Managers within the business unit keep scratching their heads as to why did we do this to the new person. I warn any new research talent doing well elsewhere that do not even think of Veeco ---it will suck the living soul out of you!

It always breaks my heart to see reviews like this. I know from my experience that Veeco is full of great people who mean well, including our leaders. So when I see someone who has had this kind of experience or feels this way about working at Veeco, I wonder how we got here. It feels like there must have been so many missed opportunities. We are committed to continuous improvement, respect, and diversity of thought and experience. We have many different ways of raising concerns, including a confidential employee hotline. I'm sure it wasn't like this for you on day one, and I hope you had the opportunity to express how you were feeling along the way. If you ever feel like doing so, I would love to speak directly about your concerns and observations. Maybe your feedback could be helpful to others, or maybe we'd discover that sometimes it's just not the right fit. Either way, we're open to feedback and doing better where we can. You can reach me directly at bwright@veeco.com or at (516) 714-1202, or you can reach Bob Bradshaw at rbradshaw@veeco.com. I hope you've found satisfaction and happiness in your next role, and I wish you all the best in the future. - Brenden
