Pros

Salary is average with the industry Benefits are above average Profit sharing is ok Human Resources department tries to create a family type atmosphere

Cons

Training is inconsistent and almost non-existent A majority of the customers are ex-Veeco employees so for an FSE the working environment is very difficult because most of the customers have more system knowledge than the Veeco employees. Many times the Veeco employee is set up to fail by not having the needed system training and interfacing with a majority of customers who are ex-Veeco employees with a lot of system knowledge.

Pros

-Hiring seems egalitarian -The pay was fairly good -Occasional company lunches

Cons

-An endless parade of wasteful daily 30-minute meetings... two per day for some people -Very early hours are the norm; most employees start at 6:00-8:00 AM -The workforce is largely dull suburbanites, with 7-8 males for every female -The office has its fair share of unpleasant bully types. Rigid thinking and low education seem common as well. I suspect this is because Veeco has a big military recruitment program, and ever since it bought Ultratech (of San Jose, CA) back in 2017, MAGA types have become more common. It's probably no coincidence how in recent years, the San Jose branch's Glassdoor score has sunk down to near Veeco's national average.
