Pros

Great product. Great new branding. New CEO Peter McKay making some good changes, engineering the company for growth in North America & Enterprise segment.

Cons

Many systems & processes outdated & geared towards SMB market. Reluctance to change/transform in EMEA. Russian founders still very involved in many day-to-day operations which sometimes slows/hinders change. Incredible politics for a company of it's size, which is draining.

Pros

- Friendly teammates that are willing to help

Cons

Where to begin? - Since starting at Veeam, the internal IT Support team has been cut to a THIRD of it's original size. From an original team of 10+ people, only 3 of the core team remain. Three USA members are left to support over 2,000+ USA employees and try to solve the flood of tickets that arrive in the ServiceDesk queue. - These last layoffs which I was a part of, 1 desktop support engineer, 1 support manager and myself were laid off. - My role was replaced by TWO other service desk analysts in Costa Rica that are getting paid pennies. Both of them combined make less than the salary I had. - Veeam is trying to cut costs anywhere they can, all while making record profits - Technology leadership doesn't listen to input from lower level management on pain points or suggestions on how to improve work-flow or help out the internal IT team - US-based IT employees never received any promotions. All employee promotions from the global IT team happened in Prague / Bucharest offices. - Absolutely no room for career advancement. Managers don't support growth. They silo you into a specific role and work you like a horse.
