Veeva Systems reviews

The average lifespan of a product marketer in this role is SEVEN MONTHS. This marketing org is a mess. There are some kind people on the team, but management from the middle to senior levels is toxic. As an associate, you can expect to do work that's years above your experience level with NO support. It's unclear to me what managers actually do, other than criticize and pass their work onto their reports. There's constant disagreement between management, and your learning opportunities are quite limited. If you think this is unfounded, in my time at Veeva I saw the product marketing and field marketing teams turnover almost 100%, and was told that retention is their #1 threat.. At a company that should have bigger fish to fry.

Lack of direction from management Unrealistic expectations, especially when lack of any real training is taken into account Lower level associates will be marked out as the scapegoat for someone else’s mistakes The sense of needing to immediately know something instead of being able to ask others for guidance “Drink the coolaide” mentality where everything must be great within the company Lack of space to really question things or have your own thoughts Sense of backstabbing, where problems are only given to upper management to then all be told as a laundry list of complaints to employees without the ability to improve Your success is not made by your ability to work but instead your ability to please those around you and get them to like you
