Best avoided it’s a sinking ship

Pros

Can be flexible but they change their minds on that frequently. Money is ok. A lot of the people are still good to work with but they are flooding out of the door, struggling to hire replacements due to bad reputation in the market.

Cons

This used to be such a good place to work in the Symantec days. Lots of collaboration and a really pleasant atmosphere and culture. That has all gone out of the window. Highly political and ‘throw in front of the bus’ culture. Lots of back stabbing and manoeuvring. To be honest everyone is just waiting to be laid off (this is happening regularly so everyone will be impacted eventually). VC ownership means minimal investment in employees and a constant drive to cut all costs (no bonuses, redundancies regularly, office closures). Shaping up to be sold and it can’t happen soon enough.

Terrible company with no respect for employees - best avoided

Pros

The legacy products are pretty good but that unfortunately is the only thing that is. The rest is awful and getting worse.

Cons

Where to start. Terrible executive leadership, particularly in sales, sales operations, HR and CPO. Lack of transparency around the future direction of the company but most expect it to be sold off/broken up. Toxic culture, cancelled bonuses, zero trust.

Worst Management in the Tech Industry By Far

Pros

The good thing about Veritas is there are still some good people there who have given their heart and soul to the company for so many years. These are the people I will miss.

Cons

In most companies, it only takes a few bad leaders to completely destroy a company. And here we are with Veritas. CPO executive management at Veritas has made nothing but one bad decision after another trying to develop a whole host of new products that were never ready for prime time, and were never integrated with the flagship product NetBackup. The cost of R&D for these products was hundreds of millions of dollars. ROI = squat. Now, NetBackup suffers from years of neglect and depletion of resources. Too late to catch up. Major layoffs now. Worst management I've seen in 20 years in the industry.
