Pros

A part of them paying on time it's really hard for me to think of anything else as a positive. Except I am glad NOT to be part of that organization anymore.

Cons

Based on the latest reviews by former TSEs it looks like the VEEM management still didn't learn its lessons. Let's start with Training: The know-how at least in 2021 was still based in ST Petersburg Russia. All the training was provided by Russian tech staff. (outside our local time zone) Workload: Cases were almost forcefully fed onto TSEs, thus ending up with SRs out of our depth and working late past the shift hours ( so SLOs are met) It only took me 5 months to figure out what organization/culture I was dealing with and submitted my resignation - one of the most uplifting feelings - no regrets!

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
