Symantec – “Too much politics. You success at Symantec largely depends on how much your manager likes or dislikes you.”

Pros

* Good benefit package
* Decent work/life balance
* Nice chair
* Internal IT Helpdesk is pretty efficient

Cons

* No open communication due to sectionalism and cliquishness
* sometimes management's direction can be unclear and misleading
* Some mid-level managers do not know how to manage people
* Hard to develop mid-term career plan; annual review is pretty much conducted on quarter base

Advice to Senior Management

Hope at least employees are fairly treated to make Symantec a decent place to work for.
