Pros

Interesting technology. Security software is hot. Free pastries and fruit, and there is usually good training available. People are usually great because they screen applicants carefully before hiring them.

Cons

Having trouble deciding on what products to develop. RSA has pulled ahead. Layoffs were never announced to the press.

Verisign Santa Cruz - a nasty sinking ship

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

paycheck, 401(k), compensation benefits, etc.

Cons

Non-responsive and clueless management, excessive visa abuse, limited career opportunities, disrespectful communication amongst and between co-workers and management, depressing employee morale, inadequate recognition for jobs well done - unless you are a member of a power clique. In summary, a totally dismal place to work.

Laid back environment makes work enjoyable but lack of clear software processes hurts company's potential

Business Outlook

Pros

VeriSign is a very laid back place to work. Management lets most people work from home when they want to. Management is very eager to help you find a product or area where you want to work so it is fairly easy to move around and talk with managers about what you want to do.

Cons

The company is not very stable as there have been downsizing. I wouldn't recommend getting a job at VeriSign in its current state. Although management is laid back, it makes it hard to get things done. Most groups do not have enough employees so delayed projects are common. Priorities seem to change all the time and the company is constantly in "fire fighting" mode due to bad deployments or other mistakes.
