VEEV

I've been fortunate to wear a few different hats in various roles and departments at VEEV. During this time, I've been impressed by the fun, respectful, and hardworking environment fostered by management. Each quarter, I have been able to build new skills and directly contribute to the overall growth and success of the company.
The management team is invested in the success of each new employee and tangibly shows this with substantive training programs, frequent one-on-one meetings, and other professional development opportunities. Success at VEEV is measured by clearly defined goals and their results, and when expectations are met employees reap the rewards. 
Moreover, there's a significant effort made week by week to impress on each employee how their success contributes to the overall success of the company. While I have felt quite compartmentalized at other companies in the past, at VEEV I often feel especially in touch with the workings of the company in a much broader sense.
There is also an emphasis on work-life balance. Everybody is expected to work diligently during regular office hours, but it's possible to rest and take your eyes off your inbox in the evening. Even during the pandemic, the company has gone out of its way to foster a healthy and health-focused work environment.
I'm grateful to be part of the wonderful team of hardworking and smart individuals who make up the VEEV family.

It’s a start up company and with that there is a lot of inexperienced people that is learning their roles. Drama is common, high turn over with superintendent and masters is common. Go work there to get some experience, learn the trade a little on your own with their projects. There is very few people that know what they’re doing, so it is very common to do work, take it down again, and re do it because either another trade or your trade was not well informed on the plans so they went as they thought it would be okay. Pay is good, but don’t expect to work there for too long. Every new superintendent or master they hire thinks they’re better than the last that either quit or got laid off. There is no farther training for anybody so if you started doing poor work, you’ll finish doing poor work unless one of your co-workers or you point out the poor work or not up to code. If you go ask a question about something being up to code, the superintendent will search it on google, so you might as well do the same, or they’ll claim that you don’t know code, so how dare you ask them if something is up to code. Because you being an apprentice you supposed to know everything and code. No one will teach it to you, you just have to know. 

VEEV is EXACTLY what they claim it is: a modern, goal-oriented company that is striving to completely revolutionize the construction industry. The work environment is one of the best I’ve ever personally experienced. My colleagues are wonderful people who regularly go above and beyond for one another. The mentality here leans much more strongly towards collaboration than individualism. We each have our own responsibilities and roles and take pride in our work, but we also know that it’s just a component of a larger whole. I think that’s what really makes the difference here: every single person in the office cares more about the end result and what we accomplish collectively than singling themselves out to be the “brightest star in the sky”. I’ve worked in offices before with people like that and it’s toxic. So yeah, I would have to chock it up to the people and the culture that management has created here as to why I feel so strongly in my loyalty for the company.

I learned a couple things here but the management was terrible. The job overall was very strict and repetitive. You have to be at the stand up meetings exactly one minute before the shift starts and even when you get there on the minute the shift started, they will track you and give you a warning there is no 5 minute grace period.  Waking up at 4 in the morning and doing 10-12 hrs daily was exhausting. I was mentally drained every day working there looking for the escape. This job is not worth the sacrifice
