The Elusive 'I Eat and Breathe Code' Engineering Graduate

Hello #-Link-Snipped-# Welcome to CE.
Have moved your discussion to entrepreneurship & startups section assuming that Veeville is a startup. Now, when it comes to hiring people for your startup & working at a startup, there are leaks on both ends. I have friends who have worked at startups in the past and have had really bad experience :
1. Workload of the volume they had never imaged. Long shifts, all-nighters, weekend working - That's something the HR never talked about while hiring.
2. Incredibly lower pay than the industry standard.
3. No growth even after working 2 years in terms of work being upgraded or higher pay.
4. No job security. Employees at startups often get axed without prior intimation.

The only pros they tell me is that the learning opportunities are maximum, but there's no one to guide or hand-hold them.

Now coming to the startup's side of the equation. They seem to be always in a trouble that good employees leave for MNCs or a bigger/funded startup and those who do stick to your startup either lack the enthusiasm/passion that the company needs. Somehow, perks offered are always better at the next company.

I think that if startup owners identify the 1st four major problems faced by employees, they should be able to hire better talent and even retain them for as long as possible.

Biggies in the startup world always talk about "quick to hire, quick to fire & repeat". The startup really needs to access if that phrase can work for them in the long run.
