. Work Where It’s Best for You Work
Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given
day. It’s about getting the work done in the way and place that
works best for each person. This applies across all locations and
departments. Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have
predictable core hours where employees are generally available for
meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available
during core hours. We invest in our offices to make them places
where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or
more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our
offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds,
and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We’re
investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.
Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal
collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current
product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas
City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities
for teams to get together in person regularly. Customer-facing
roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or
travel to their customers. When an employee moves within a country
it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you
and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if
you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted
to eliminate that. Work at Veeva. Work where it’s best for you. A
different kind of company. A Public Benefit Corporation. Unlike a
traditional corporation, whose only legal duty is to maximize
shareholder value, PBCs consider their public benefit purpose and
the interests of those materially affected by the corporation’s
conduct—including customers, employees, and the community—in
addition to shareholders’ interests. What sets us apart In February
2021, Veeva became the first public company to convert to a Public
Benefit Corporation (PBC). Unlike a traditional corporation, whose
only legal duty is to maximize shareholder value, PBCs consider
their public benefit purpose and the interests of those materially
affected by the corporation’s conduct—including customers,
employees, and the community—in addition to shareholders’
interests. Veeva’s public benefit purpose is to help make the
industries we serve more productive and create high-quality
employment opportunities. “Veeva’s engineering teams take a
pragmatic approach to software development. We offer an ideal
environment for engineers who value focus, speed and integrity in
their work.” #J-18808-Ljbffr
