Veeam Employee Reviews & Ratings

You need to be very active and a thick skin

Delay in decisions and nonexistent meritocracy

Micro managing Your not treated as an adult Hires younger people to pay them less Required to be at your desk at all times No flexibility Daily metrics are ridiculous

Due to company growth, more products are released, so you need to keep up. The support job is quite stressful overall. you always work with people (customers) who come with their problems, which you need to solve. Big risk to burn out

None to think of Benefits could be better but that is everywhere Expenses are a pain but expected Lots of change lately

Lots of red tape Global sprawl can make communication a slower than it should be

If you read a good review its because the managers ask for employees to write reviews that are good to bring up the rating

- No streamlined process and workflow yet. Hoping it'll improve

Dreadful management locally. Siloed with no leadership. Too much politics and everyone out for themselves. Little or no teamwork. High staff turnover.

Company has a direction, but not all employees are a part of it.

no cons for me until now

A lot of middle management

Can also be a bad place to work!

This year: High Level Execs, too many changes, comp plans. But, it sounds like all of this will be changing in 2019. The OG Execs are back and everyone is looking forward to what ever they have planned.

Field is neglected and competes with the inside sales team for control of deals. Pay is WELL below market for field roles. Quotas are extremely high to keep OPEX down. Management, particularly in the West, is very poor, inexperienced, lacks vision, and lacks even the most basic idea of how to run a sales team.

SMB product trying to be an Enterprise player. Need to develop a mature company culture. Mainly hire young inexpensive inside sales people. High sales turnover.

Could work on more benefits for employees

The 'just get on with it' culture does not appeal to those who prefer to hide behind corporate policies, because there aren't any. This means you have to be self-suffcient and make things happen on your own. This can be a big shock if you are from a big company like Microsoft. The only other con is a lack of any clear career path which is why people leave in the end, not because they don't like it - it's great (see above) - but because they have to leave in the end to progress their careers. To be fair, Veeam sort of expects that and leaving is generally a no-fuss affair unless you go to a competitor.

too much throw it up at the wall and see if it sticks

Pressure to meet deadlines, internal competition

Small value deals and smb targeted approach

Can be difficult to progress

nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing

For me it was no cons

- none, really ! - everyday is a fun day, nothing to complaint

No processes, relocation blockers, communication with R&D

If your manager is in a different country you will not have too many opportunities to see him and interact face to face.

None really. It's easy to shift your work/life balance but only due to the reason that you've got extra reward for working extra hours, and a lot of guys need cash and hence ignore their managers' reminders to stick to a normal working day. Noone will disapprove you for not overworking.

1. AWFUL CRAZY MICROMANAGEMENT. No room to grow, your ideas and decisions are not heard and nobody cares about what you have in mind and what you can suggest to make a change. 2. Promotions are only for those who act like mad people in some sort of sect, blindly do what they are told, not ever sharing their opinion, but instead only repeating the company mantras. If you actually have your own way of working and you are not involved in all possible corporate stuff and don't show off every single minute, then you will never be seen and promoted, regardlesss of how good your actual professional results are. I can also add here that there are too many absolutely useless roles in the company: team leads of some teams that simply don't need any team lead, basically promotions for some people just for the sake of promoting them because they just do what is mentioned above. 3. NO respect for employees who have been with the company for quite a while. These people are completely neglected and forgotten and when they leave because they are just tired of this nonsense, nobody tries to keep them. They will just let you go and wave. 4. Frequent cases of miscommunication between departments - or, better yet, lack of communication competely. Certain individuals in the management team also try to hide some news, cover something up etc. which results in people finding out something through other channels - WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO.

Sometime customers could be demanding and try to put a lot of pressure on you. But again, where is the fun without any challenges as such sometime.

Not sure of the current direction

benefits package for some of the countries is not so appealing career growth is non-linear and comprehensive, only possible if you switch to another department higher management does not always take into account regional needs and capacities

It's difficult to keep the private life / work balance

Too much office politics. Management pretends they care but it is all fake. They only care about the Sales Target numbers and if you suck up to them.

No pinball machines yet unfortunately :P

Remote workers cannot work from abroad

The training is horrible. They put you to learn all this technical stuf from some videos, webex sessions, etc even if you dont need some of that stuff. They dont provide a good and understanding training. All it s messed up and complicated. You will figure most out in the first couple of months on your own. The management, push some ideas that you will have to value all the time you ar in Veeam. It s Veeam way, or no way! If you want to take holidays , you cant in the last month of the firts tree quaters and the whole last quater, so basicly from 12 months, 6 of them are excluded from holidays.

None I can think of.

none to report all is well

Call center mentality, micro-micro managed, about to install "security" access cards to monitor how many times you use the restroom, what time you come to work, what time you leave, etc. They sell you on team environment and promotions from within but dont be fooled. Many individuals take sole credit for the success of a territory even if they were waiting tables a short while ago. Private "one on ones" kill team spirit, managers get fellow employees to spy and do the dirty work on fellow team mates. Outside team gets all the praise/money for doing nothing.

Awful Management! Micromanage to the extreme and extremely stressful work environment!

Company had a young workforce and was in transition, reorganizing teams and regions. There were changes in personnel during my time there and in management the following year, which has probably stabilized since then.

I can’t think of anything

A lot of employees. Hard to self expression.

What you should expect: follow the rules, meet expectations or move away.

I really have no cons to listen. Sure, sometimes some customers may be a bit antagonistic, but it turns into a pro, because the company doesn't accept customers abusing the employees, so if anything happens, you can report it to your manager, and Customer Care management will have a chat with the customer.

Salary is below market, upper management is clueless. There is a complete disconnect between what we are supposed to be doing to what is asked of us to do. No career path advancement. No support from your direct manager. No real human care factor. It is not the Veeam of 5 years ago. They have lost what truly made it special.

Layoffs and company culture change

Maybe that they are new on the country, so I didn´t know about them before

Not many perspectives for career growth No will to change company inefficient rules to keep up with the progress
