Secureworks reviews

Limited scope for career growth

SCWX announced it's first ever profitable quarter...after laying off over 25% of their work force in the preceding months. I always sort had the nagging idea that the company existed purely as a business loss offset on Michael Dell's personal balance sheet for tax purposes. He owns 80% of the company stock. There is no equity incentive for employees. In my nearly nine years at the company we only exceeded budget target percentage once. (Don't worry, SCWX also applies an arcane personal modifier so they can be sure to adjust that payout down as needed, don't want to reward 'em too much) The biggest red flag I would wave at this point is the constant turnover in Sales, Marketing, and People executive leadership. This means: 1) The product doesn't sell; 2) There's no way to position it compellingly; 3) The company doesn't value it's people.
