Symantec – “Solid high-tech company with very strong upper management.”
Pros
Strong management, great infrastructure & process- e.g., autonomy within the product team to make things happen, visibility to what other product groups are doing, strong product development methodology that has been honed for over 20 years. Symantec is also a leader in its space which makes it a fun place to work - the products are competitive and the company is aggressive in adding products to the portolio
Cons
Some of the functions are centralized - thus it can be cumbersome and time-consuming to 'work it' in order to get things done. Activities such as marketing campaigns, web content creation, customer trainings, leads generation are all centralized activities.
Advice to Senior Management
Make it a bit more accessible for people to change roles in the company. Develop an executive training program for mid-level employees.

Could you please give example of great process? I come from very grass root level developer in Symantec. May be the processes might exist in product management, but development depts are menace. Development processes are so cumbersome that they transform developer into project manager and they management meet to discuss why dont we have strong technical people. You might be lucky that you didnt face politics. Some of the Symantec depts have so fierce politics that it keeps behind even communal politics. In fact managers above E grade spend most of their time in politics.
