Websense Senior Manager in San Diego, CA:   (Past Employee - 2006)

Pros

None. The place is ready to fold. Web filtering is so passe and no one is likely to pay the premium it requires to buy the company.

Cons

Be prepared for a lot of infighting and political backstabbing from the influx of McAfee people. The culture was stodgy but conservative, but all that went out the window the moment they hired Gene Hodges. McAfee must be using Websense as a dumping ground for all the non-performers, because they hired a bunch from there who brought in "what's in it for me regardless of the cost to the company", which pretty much killed any company culture.

Advice to Senior Management

None. They are beyond help.

This is the McAfee Strategy to put potential competitors out of business by using "Trojan Horse" employees to sabbotage the competitors business.
