Changing leadership and not for the best

Systems engineer iv

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is on par with the area. Benefits are okay, but lacking in other areas.

Cons

We have been remote for over 5 years and was ensured we would stay that way after getting raves from leadership for being productive and exceeding goals. That changed after a new CFO came in and is now starting the RTO process. Assuming it’s a RIF in disguise.

You cannot trust management

Software engineer iii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company's mission is valuable, rewarding, satisfying - this is the biggest plus by far. Salary is nice. Logo looks ok.

Cons

Bad management: There are a few seriously spoiled apples in low to mid management, and upper management has no clue. They *promised* (in writing) that Verisign would stay in fully remote mode even after the pandemic. And now they force the employees back into the office, for now only 2 days, but we know where this is heading. You cannot trust management on any level. Run if you have other options.
