- **Public Benefit Corporation structure**: Legally obligated to balance shareholder interests with customers, employees, partners, the life sciences industry, and communities — a durable differentiator in talent and customer trust.

- **Long-term durable growth**: Operating as a PBC with a commitment to the life sciences industry's critical functions.

## Why Work Here
- **Work Anywhere policy**: Employees can work from home or the office on any given day; product teams are organized in regional hubs (Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, Toronto) with regular in-person collaboration.
- **Culture and values**: Collaborative environment where employees are "treated with respect" and supported to "captain their own ship" toward growth; values are explicitly prioritized: Do the Right Thing, Customer Success, Employee Success, Speed.
- **Giving back**: 1% Veeva Giving program — each employee receives an amount equal to 1% of their base salary annually to donate to non-profits of their choice; giving is entirely employee-driven.
- **Equity for employees**: Equity program designed so the vast majority of employees participate and benefit financially in the company's growth.
- **No non-compete clauses**: Employees are free to work where they choose, and the company actively fights unfair non-compete practices in the industry.
