Pros

People. Lots of good people and some of them are still believing in company. Decent benefit package.

Cons

This place used to be decent, not perfect but not bad. Then... Dont know where to start. That 5 minutes video, "all in", "we will do this and that." I guess nobody says anything about people quiting left and right. They pretend everything is normal. You need to be really really sure that you will have a future to continue staying here. TBH, dont think Raython cares about this company. They are busy with merger at this moment.

Pros

Semi-competetive pay, so-so benefits and facilities

Cons

Whatever vestiges of the old Websense culture have been laid off, "re-orged" or quit on their own. New CEO has built a culture of mistrust.

A great place to work if you enjoy humiliation, bullying, and lying.

Pros

There simply are no pros.

Cons

HR is a joke! They are 100% effective in protecting the company an 0% effective in protecting employees. Anyone who tries to file a harassment claim or support an employee in filing one is going to have it haunt them. They simply don't care about employees. They manage by intimidation and actually support this as part of their culture. Senior management were the biggest liars I have ever experienced. Miserable environment and terrible technology. Joining with Websense, which already had terrible products was a death wish. The federal sales team is the only reason they even exist today and with this pending acquisition, look out.
