Great workplace, not so amazing (or at all) career paths. You will always be engaged and be exposed to a lot of marketing activities.
Cons
But sometimes, you cannot innovate. Due to the marketing team size, it can be hard to implement new marketing techniques and can sometimes be a little slow and not use latest marketing tactics.

Where to begin?
- Since starting at Veeam, the internal IT Support team has been cut to a THIRD of it's original size. From an original team of 10+ people, only 3 of the core team remain. Three USA members are left to support over 2,000+ USA employees and try to solve the flood of tickets that arrive in the ServiceDesk queue.
- These last layoffs which I was a part of, 1 desktop support engineer, 1 support manager and myself were laid off.
- My role was replaced by TWO other service desk analysts in Costa Rica that are getting paid pennies. Both of them combined make less than the salary I had.
- Veeam is trying to cut costs anywhere they can, all while making record profits
- Technology leadership doesn't listen to input from lower level management on pain points or suggestions on how to improve work-flow or help out the internal IT team
- US-based IT employees never received any promotions. All employee promotions from the global IT team happened in Prague / Bucharest offices.
- Absolutely no room for career advancement. Managers don't support growth. They silo you into a specific role and work you like a horse.
