Symantec – “Do not work here if you have a choice.”

Pros

Was benefits, but those were being trimmed on my way out the door. Nice facilities, but that doesn't go very far.

Cons

Incompetence all over the place. Too much bureaucracy in the company. Poor pay. Best way to get a salary increase is to leave the company and get rehired. Too focused on outsourcing at this point. The Veritas culture took over the company. The Symantec culture was great until the Veritas merger destroyed the "family feel" to the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay your employees better. Demand more - there are too many people that are doing too little, and when job cuts happen you need to cut them first. Other more competent people are ready to step into their place.
