Quarter-to-quarter management

Pros

Flexible working schedules. No problem working from home. Compensation about average. Salary is divided between base and bonus. Some managers think the bonus is automatic and some don't. Company says it is not automatic.

Cons

Any long term plan is abandoned at first sign of difficulty. EMC (parent company) seems to manage resources (i.e., people) on a quarter-to-quarter basis: layoffs are frequent. Lots of management politics. New products are not bringing in the revenue of the old standby - SecurID - and even that product in bringing in less and less. Always lots of talk of EMC selling RSA.

Stressful sales driven culture

Pros

The pay scales are decent and in line with its competition. There are very competent and talented hard-working people working for RSA at the mid-level.

Cons

The company culture for most of RSA is one managed by fear and firefighting. Goals, planning and direction flip/flop at the whim of management and are driven by numbers and little else. People go unrecognized and don't figure into the company culture equation and it shows. There is no investment in talent. Don't plan on getting ahead or getting recognized for a job well-done unless you have an in with someone. Business units are isolated and not aligned to each other's goals. If you're evaluating RSA against other similar options, consider the options.

Sad state of affairs

Pros

Good EMC benefits programs and reasonable pay

Cons

RSA is in a sad state. the company is in a thriving market but the leadership is incompetent and the employees don't care anymore. layoffs are conducted every 6 months and the turnover of employees and leaders is insane. vp for engineering has joined from Symantec that thinks he is better than everyone else at the company.
