Diverse workforce, nice facilities and office spaces
Kontras
Horrible/ dishonest upper management, filled with “yes” men, bad culture, entrenched VPs who constantly play favorites and zero IT support.

-Occasional company lunches
Kontras
-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.
