VeriFone - normally a job is better than unemployment, but a job here makes you think hard about the alternative - Project Manager Verifone Employee Review

Pros

There are few (and fewer each year) electronic product design firms in the Rocklin/Roseville area, so VeriFone is at least a design position. However, after Nov 2006, when VeriFone purchased Lipman, design work has shifted to Israel and the work in Rocklin is more systems engineering (except for OS design) and field/product support.

Cons

Senior management lives all over the state; there is none at Rocklin. The CEO runs the company for his personal gain; bonuses of any magnitude go only to the very top managers. Sales did 3 complete turnovers between 2001 and 2006 - the unspoken motto is "Sales is King" and should be followed by "What have you done for me lately?" Management is results oriented and people are just workunits to be applied to projects. Check your brain at the door if you decide to work here. Morale is non-existant; few long-term MTS (but many in senior management - they protect themselves).

Pros

Hybrid schedule Great product International company with a somewhat flat structure

Cons

Favoritism and nepotism run deep in this company. If you are on the outs, it is harder to advance in the company. Zero culture, no celebrations/recognition/ERGs. You don't feel valued or part of something larger than you.
