Pros

- Great benefits: You get to travel business class. - Good work life balance: The kind of job you go for when you want to have a life outside.

Cons

- No vision. The company is stuck at just trying to keep up with its competitors. The technology hasn't keep up with times, for example, Veracode static scans take 2-5 hours to finish. This is unacceptable in a CI environment. The product roadmap is just playing a catch up game with its competition. - Not agile. Claims to be agile but releases only happen once a month and most releases are big bang releases. Releases are a train wreck waiting to happen. Can't deliver features fast. - Too big and hierarchical for a software company. There are close to 15 people working on a small web service, and most of the testing is still manual.

Pros

Good leadership and career growth. Excellent health insurance and benefits.

Cons

Nothing substantial. Only pains felt while working there were universally felt (Global Pandemic, Impact of AI) and each time Veracode put both employees and customers at the center of their decision making.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and experience. The executive team did implement a hybrid, return-to-office approach, and we’re excited to see more Veracoders working together in our offices to collaborate and connect in person. In our product organization, we’ve also made several exciting changes over the past few months, including welcoming a new Chief Product Officer and continuing to invest in our product strategy and execution. If you’d like to discuss anything further, we encourage you to reach out to us directly at peopleteam@veracode.com.
