Verisign reviews

Constant change in Management, lack of consistency in the business vision and mission contributing to several years of identity crisis.

There is very unique culture at Verisign that you rarely see in NoVa. There are employees that have been here 10, 15, 20 or more years. While that may sound wonderful, it is detrimental to an organization that has recognized, "if we don't evolve with the rest of the tech companies around us, we will fail". There are many folks here who are stubbornly resistant to change because they have been doing it "their" way for so long. And even though the executive leadership is trying hard to make some significant changes, there are those special few that get a pass to continue doing things the way they want. Darwin said it best, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change." Another con with having a low turnover is there seems to be little room for growth. There is definitely an "inner circle" that is very hard to break. There are literally people here that can do NO wrong. It's almost cult-like. The weak will not survive.
