Secure Computing could do better - Senior Engineer Secure Computing Employee Review

A super place to learn and collaborate and advance one's career

Management was a bit too closed-minded to new ideas, shooting them down after just taking off. But most companies are like this, so...

I was really excited to accept the position at Secure Computing, everyone was freindly and helpful. The companies benefits and valuation of past experience in the job package for vacation was amazing. I was overwhelmed by the salary and compensation package (stock), and I felt that I was starting an exciting chapter in my career. The work environment was calm and friendly, and the employees were very generous with each other, and worked hard to maintain a cordial atmosphere.

One merge, two merge ... and the world changed for the worst. Overnight our group changed from helpful and kind; to self promoting, unforgiving, paranoid and hostile. The HR department lacked the ability to provide payroll on time over a long holiday. The job offer provided benefits that were dissolved after the second merger, the second merger completed within 5 weeks of taking the position, so there was some deception on their part. Considering the 2nd merger time frame, Sr. management should have known at the time of the offer the benefits would be revoked.
