Pros

Compensation is very generous for aggressive, politically active employees. Generous for well connected or those that did a good job of negotiating when they came in. But if you depend on the good will of the management for generous compensation you will be disappointed.

Cons

The disrespect shown for employees, the promotion of politically connected employees that are unqualified for the positions and the utter last of accountability for mistakes and poor job performance for politically connected employees. The lack of communication with management and low morale.

Once VeriSign finally rights its ship the company will again be a great place to work. Sadly it’s not there yet.

Pros

There are some really smart and interesting people at VeriSign. There is no shortage of talent, at least not at the middle management tier and below. The trick is putting the right people in the right jobs

Cons

Lack of direction at the top means spinning wheels down the chain. For several years the company has had to focus on righting the ship after a number of poor and expensive acquisition decisions. That inward focus has reduced the ability of the company to innovate across its product lines. A revolving door of management personnel has further compounded VeriSign's problems.

the salary beats other companies in the area, great benefits, decent 401k, middle managers are great to work with and are trying to be very upbeat and positive.

Cons

being divested, overall feeling of a down hill spiral, lack of communication between senior management and workers, low morale, basically not knowing what is going on.......
