Worst Job Ever - Senior Unix/Linux Administrative EdgeWave Employee Review

May 18, 2012

Senior unix/linux administrative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As Senior admin I was given full authority to build the unix team as I saw fit, and to define technology standards as I saw fit.

Cons

Management totally failed to deliver the promised 'unix team' for me to build up. After 9 months I was still the only admin, and was still expected to be on-call 24x365. Management was totally non-responsive to my repeated requests for assistance. My workload was unrealistic, I couldn't even address half the work coming at me. Benifits package was poor. they promised employee stock purchase, but were never able to deliver. Health insurance was more than 5 times what I pay for private insurance. Retirement was non-matching 401k. PTO was 3 weeks per year, but since I was continuously on-call, I couldn't really use it.

Pros

Worked with some really great people, who unfortunately have the same outlook. This caused a lot of negative (and hilarious) "water cooler" talk.

Cons

EdgeWave has been, and most likely always will be the laughing stock of the cybersecurity industry. Email solution is OK, but still gets beaten out in deals by competitors that actually take part in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. Web security solution is 20 years behind. You're better off having nothing in place. It can't even stop a 5th grader from going to a porn site. The Huawaii firewall... well, it's a Chinese firewall. This is the United States, and China is one of our biggest adversaries when it comes to cyber warfare. When you are trying to sell a Chinese firewall to a company in the US, how do you think that deal is going to play out? Oh yeah, and I think they fired the only person that knows how to install them.
