Pros
Good benefits like medical , subsidized cafeteria, underground parking in town center , mobile phone to almost all employees , work life balance as in 8-9 hours in office and none to few hours per month working on weekends. Open environment and you can share your point of view and management encourages innovation and ideas. awesome gym and building in heart of reston.
Cons
No Promotions , almost impossible as employees are stable having almost more than 4-5 yrs and 10, 15, 20, 25 yrs at verisign. there are no companies around this area so people cant change and dont move. No Promotions means boring environment sometimes as people dont have any motivational factor. Traffic is really really bad in this area and company doesnt encourage Working from Home , where most of companies in this area are changing and asking employees to work from home atleast once/twice a week . No Sick Leaves/ less Paid Leaves /no work from home option --- makes employees work life balance little hard especially when they are sick or weather is bad.
