Director – Product Support

Location: Columbus

Veeva Systems | $115,000 – $225,000

Steph's Notes:

Veeva is a Public Benefit Corporation.

There are a bunch of other Support and Support Engineering roles available.

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.

I don't agree with this, but I think it's a green flag that they're upfront about it.

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.

Again, I don't like it personally, but the honesty is a good thing – it means they care about being a good fit for candidates and not doing bait-and-switches. I love that.

The only red flag for me (and why it's in Eh, It's Probably Fine instead of in Green Means Go) is the very wide salary range accompanied by this:
