Pros

-Flexible work hours -Great products that are making an impact in the Health Sciences world, especially in times like these -Tuesday lunch -Free snacks and beverages -Smart and considerate colleagues -Great office location, right next to King Station, and comfortable walking distance to Union -Veeva Generation (2 Year development program for new grads) -Line of job promotion if you work hard and are a great team player -Sizeable Yearly allowance on educational material like online courses, textbooks -Great amount of RSU's

Cons

-Workloads can fluctuate rapidly at times -Growing occurrence in recent years of specs changing last minute, growing lack of communication between management and employees -Workplace environment can vary between teams. Veeva Toronto has been expanding rapidly in recent years; the creation of new teams has resulted in many new office cultures, some of which have been negative. Generally the older teams like Veeva Network are known to have better workplace environments. -Tuesday Lunches have decreased in quality in recent years. -Majority of recent new hires seem to be only young professionals/new grads

Pros

- Free lunch - Unlimited PTO - Extremely good stock options (changed this year) - Competitive pay - 2% of your income in education - Fitness reimbursement - Work/life balance - Can switch teams, products, or job titles at any time - Huge mix of junior, mid level, and senior engineers. - Engineers from atypical backgrounds (passionate / motivated). - Week break at the end of the year. - CEO / Upper management seem to know their stuff. For me personally on my team (might apply to others): - Insanely good manager, he purposely wants us to improve our skills for our future. - Manager will be the face of problems that you make. - Everyone on my team is extremely nice, talented, and fit together well. - Occasional events with the team. - Relaxed work sechedules ("9-5" but flexible). I'm curious if other reviews end up with bad teams.

Cons

- Learning all the tech, software, terminology, products is overwhelming initially. - The core software which creates nearly all products is an insanely huge code base. - Huge code base is annoying to develop in due to size, slowness, and VM that's required. - Software growing pains (see last two points). The company has grown very fast and still looks to add thousands of employees in the next few years. - Some teams aren't as friendly. - Some teams are overwhelmed (dev ops seem to need a lot more people). - Lunch is sometimes meh.
