A good company to work for

Software engineer iii
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Work Life Balance, No Polotics, Good compensation and benefits, Great People. As long as you do your work everything works fine. There is no face time or anything. ESPP plan can come very handy

Cons

I as working on one of the world's most efficient transaction systems but as in every big company tour role is very defined and you do not have many opportunities to move from one product to another.

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.

VeriSign (Santa Cruz): Beware of a sinking ship.

Project manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are good. There are a number of facets to the VeriSign business which should mean there is a lot of opportunity for divergent involvements and contact with a lot of different technologies. There were some instances of inter-organizational movement. It is more difficult to achieve in a remote office. The HR staff is generally attentive and responsive. The IT infrastructure is generally a good environment in which to work. Being a security company, it is sometimes overly restrictive to the Dev staff.

Cons

Indian management in the Santa Cruz office is extremely racist in their practices. If you are Indian, look forward to preferential treatment. If not, look elsewhere. The Santa Cruz office has Indian population greater than 50%. To put it mildly, the local management is not very "enlightened". The business represented in the Santa Cruz office is in decline. There have been a couple rounds of layoffs where we have lost really talented staff. The attrition over the last couple years has seen a steady exodus of the most senior and talented technical staff. All are signs of a sinking ship. In fact, VeriSign is attempting to "divest" this office. Yup, it's up for sale. Too bad. This office was once a leader of multimedia applications for cell phones.
