Veeco Instruments Employee Reviews for Engineering Aide

"Don't plan to retire with this company."

What do you like about working at Veeco Instruments?

"Working with smart people that have free character. Involved, complex & interesting product to work on. Decent Cafeteria. Fun Christmas party. Usually Plenty of overtime, but no job security for working tons of overtime."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"If you don't mind working lots of overtime, being there early in the morning every day & half hour lunch breaks then this place is for you."

What don't you like about working at Veeco Instruments?

"1/2 hour lunch breaks. Very picky about being there exactly at 7:30am. All take it personally. Living in latex gloves."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Upper management takes all the money & will pay meager wages to their hardest workers that work 7 days a week for weeks. When things just start to get slow they start letting people go no matter how many 7 day weeks they worked or how many years they've been there. The top CEO makes millions & some of his job duties are having lunch with big politicians. I've never seen him at the place on a Sunday."
