      Pros

      I very much enjoyed the work and the technical challenges I faced. The travel benefits were pretty awesome too!

      Cons

      Some of the senior management were hard to work with and the office politics game was something you had to be on top of.

      Thanks for taking some time to share your experiences with Veeco. Glad you enjoyed the work, technical challenges, and travel. Hopefully, you made some great memories in neat places around the world. It's unfortunate you mention difficulties working with senior management and office politics. Our challenges in supporting our customers are enough without navigating those kinds of issues. If you have specific examples or ideas you'd be willing to share that can help us be better, please reach out. You can contact me at bwright@veeco.com or Bob Bradshaw and rbradshaw@veeco.com. Best of luck in your new adventures, wherever they may take you. Best, Brenden

      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.
