      Fired for unknown reason - Senior Software Engineer DigiCert Employee Review

      Pros

      Team culture, communication. My team had worked in Digicert for more than 2y. We got a notice about firing in 1 month. They had decide to fire out a team of experienced engineers and replace with cheaper team from South Africa that writes low-quality code. My team members (developers, Product owner, PMs, Q&A) were awesome people with whom I worked closely.

      Cons

      Fired for unknown reason, I guess they want only to pay less salaries rather than keep top quality engineers. The sad is the company top-management which only counts where to hire cheaper people even at the cost of quality

      Pros

      I have loved my team and manager since day 1. I stay because DigiCert continues to provide me with professional development opportunities. I began as a file clerk and now manage a team doing complex operational efficiency work. They supported me through an MBA and each year I take at least one course and attend at least one industry event to help expand my skill and reach. The pay is average, BUT when you add in the value of the above-average benefits, the total remuneration package is great.

      Cons

      DigiCert is owned by Private Equity. If you have not worked for a PE portfolio company before, it means they focus solely on making money and stripping out what they deem as fluff (which I deem as retention levers, like company parties and swag).
