Great compensation, poor job satisfaction. - Senior Software Engineer Verisign Employee Review

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary is very competitive, the total compensation consists of salary, stock options and restrictive shares, bonus, and ESPP. All of which is generous and the ESPP is the best around. There are some very good people who work for Verisign as well.

Cons

This is a very unsatisfactory company to work for from a personal satisfaction point of view. Positive feedback is rare and the company management has many ways to communicate that you are lucky to work here and the company could do much better if you left. Very little job satisfaction. Most employees that leave involuntary take a bit of time to get their heads back straight.
