Qualys Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Qualys full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Enjoyed my tenure at Qualys and played many roles and learned a lot along the way. It is the right environment to innovate and grow, but you need to be ready for the challenge and the opportunities that come with it.

Cons – High paste environment with lots of moving parts. Some people have a hard time to deal with the fast paste and extra effort needed to get things done.

Advice to Senior Management – Build middle management to better manage the company's growth and increase team building activities and functions.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Qualys full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Unquestionably the best technology in the segment. If you excel at your job, you are left alone to be successful. Excellent opportunities to earn. In most cases, you get paid what you are worth. Not afraid to let go those individuals who don't share a passion for the company or who aren't willing to dedicate time and effort to everyone's success. Not a culture for "coasters".

Cons – No 401K match. Definitely not for "9 to 5ers". Absolutely need to be a self-starter. Tend to paint Sales with a broad brush.

Advice to Senior Management – Implement a 401K match and an ESPP program.

Former Employee – worked at Qualys full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Qualys is fast paced and commands A players, which makes for an overall innovative and engaging work environment. As a market leader, senior leadership has vast experience and continues to take the company in the right direction. CEO is a visionary and successfully drives a customer focused culture with team collaboration between support, sales, engineering and operations.

Qualys allows its employees to grow professionally and personally, and does offer a path for career progression. Employee benefits are also the best I have ever had from an employer.

If you’re motivated and passionate about cloud security, this is a solid company to join where you’ll work hard but reap rewards.

Cons – Need to maintain continuity within leadership functions in product marketing. Need more involvement of sales team in company events for more camaraderie.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to maintain that sense of urgency and customer focused attitude. It’s a valuable asset that tought me a lot, and it will continue to benefit your employees and customers greatly.

Current Employee – been working at Qualys full-time for less than a year

Pros – Qualys has an amazing product backed up by a great team of engineers.
It's a pleasure to go to work and be part of an exciting team.

Cons – It seems that some people are staying in their positions for several years and never grow into more senior positions... some lack of ambition or excitement I believe...

Advice to Senior Management – Management needs to look deeper at what's happening in each department to real understand where problems are coming from sometimes and do more than just scratching the surface

Current Employee – been working at Qualys

Pros – You will find top shelf talent solving problems in engineering, marketing, finance, and sales in a highly technical field; you will have to stretch your experience into every aspect of the software business, as there are no defined lines between company functions. You will be tasked with working hard, delivering results, and working outside of your comfort zone.

You will learn more about a complete software business in a quarter, than in multiple years at another firm.

Cons – You will find that your job description is blurry; your responsibilities are broad and complex. You will have to read between the lines and take ownership of your decisions as the right decisions. You will have conflicts with management and you will be accountable for your impact for better or for worse.

You will have to fend for yourself until you have earned your rite of passage by finding a way to move the company forward.

Advice to Senior Management – A start-up culture does not require a flat organizational structure; however, effective scaling of a start-up culture does.

Cons – Be ready to be challenged and to work hard to make the difference.
The fussball table need a real update.
