Pros
good compensation and benefits, good work life balance core product is best in class and well received by the market
Cons
Senior management gives no clear direction. Is Blue Coat a security company, Wan Optimization company? It changes from week to week it seems. Blue Coat lost direction and focus on its core product while developing Wan Optimization. As a result of this, market share is starting to decline, and are now way behind on innovation which is needed to stay ahead. Very cut throat environment at Senior level. Everyone tries to keep their head down, as their apparent reasons for letting people go, and the decisions they use to do so are completely irrational. Meanwhile, they keep on the "Yes" men and under performers who are dragging the company down. In place of innovation, they did lay offs, and more processes every week which is keeping employees from maximizing revenue and selling potential.
