Pros

Company does a good job marketing itself, especially in the US. Considering what they do, cloud storage with some policy management, they show themselves as an advanced company. They are a glorified CRM for Pharma. Good place for sales people and strong car salesman culture even in tech.

Cons

Very deceiving tech interview as they position themselves as an advanced company but upon start, surprises will emerge. Canada is seen as a cheap labour, outsourcing office for the HQ and the tech leaders are very incompetent, many of them obsolete. Their website does not even mention Canada and its the last priority for the overall company. Tech Stack and engineering practices are outdated and serious security flaws in their design. Worrying handling of health data. If you want to experience “ The Office” culture in action, join this company. Not for engineers, good for sales.

Pros

The role involves a lot of repetitive tasks. Depending on your personality, that either makes the job easier over time as you become more efficient, or it gradually becomes frustrating. The upside is that once you learn the role, it can serve as a strong stepping stone to move into other positions within the company.

Cons

It's a repetitive, call-center type role. Once you're in it, there isn't much room to grow within the department. Most people either stay and plateau or eventually move to another department before the repetition and workload lead to burnout.

Pros

Large presence in the industry and good-hearted, intelligent, and well-meaning people work there. Stable company, not going to be purchased by private equity and endure large layoffs

Cons

part of their motto is "do the right thing" but that's not applied when it comes to salaries or work-life balance. working weekends and well past normal hours seems to be a regular thing that most people are doing. a manager's solution to my issue of having more work than was feasible to complete was just to work longer days. "Veeva Speed" is a sugarcoated phrase everyone uses to indicate being overworked and initial training is like drinking from a fire hose; this company makes enough money to hire the correct amount of people to do the work and pay them fairly.
