Manageable Work Load But No Challenges Here

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work load is very manageable. If you are competent you can definitely cruise by, which is also a drawback if you are looking for challenges. The work environment is decent and benefits should be at least comparable to average companies.

Cons

The overall culture for engineering excellence is not great. The organization structure is too segregated and rigid to bring about fundamental changes. Most people are only worried about taking care of what's inside their box to get by.

Great compensation, poor job satisfaction.

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.

Reasonable place to work

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Established company that is positioned well in relevant fields. Lots of potential in international areas if the company can get their act together. Finally gotten rid of lots of dead weight (employees). The company is trying not to be everything to all people which is good.

Cons

Lack of real innovation. To beholden to business buzz words. Too bad that VeriSign has wasted so much money on acquisitions and real estate and other failed things. People do make a difference in the company but that is not evident in policy. Need to inspire employees and invest in the future.
