Pros

Good people at individual contributor levels. Websense has a tremendous amount of talent, although the turnover over the past year+ has been extremely high - in middle and upper management due to political conflict, and at the individual contributor level due to burnout.

Cons

Expectation of 80hr weeks, year 'round. There are no peaks and valleys, only 'Sprints', month in and month out. HR is not focused on retaining talent, nor managing an internal pipeline of candidates for opportunities and promotions. They don't even have a new hire program (although the Sales team does).

Advice to Senior Management

Build a talent management program for ranking, training/coaching, and promoting from within.
