Disaster waiting to happen - Sales Blue Coat Systems Employee Review

Pros

At Blue Coat you'll get a good salary and good benefits

Cons

CEO changes strategies too often and creates chaos constantly. Senior management doesn't lead - they muddle through best they can. Middle management is a disaster! Sales turnover is at an all time high. Products are solid but competition is gaining ground. CEO is fond of saying if you make it the first 18 months, you'll stay for 10 years. The problem is that most people don't make it 18 months. This is a very tough place to work - few love it. Many are just staying because the economy is tough.
