    Symantec Web Marketing in Cupertino, CA:   (Past Employee - 2009)

    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.
