Pros: It's an IT security company so good for learning

Cons: The work culture is not that good.

Pros: Great technology, smart engineers, successful SOS business model, competitive salary & benefits

Cons: Leadership, for the most part, is poor. CEO uses fear to get results and his subordinates are afraid to tell him anything other than what he wants to hear. Quarterly meetings are on weekends which seems disrespectful to employees' personal time.

Pros: Its almost been 3 years and seems right to review my experience with Qualys. I joined Qualys from one of the biggest security companies and just to share the background, there was already a buzz in my previous organization about Qualys opening their center in India due to its image of being a leader in delivering security with cutting-edge technology. So far, it has not disappointing and can say - learnt more in these 3 years than previous experience of 7 years together. Qualys is a place where you would go very far if you are willing to think ahead for your product, take initiatives and execute/deliver them, as you would not have a typical compartmentalization here between Engineering (dev/qa/architects teams), Product Management, Anaysts etc, which was the case with my previous organization, where the roles were strictly defined. And you doing something out of your work role, was considered at 'stepping on each other's foot' there. If you are good at your work and give honest tries to do good things, the exposure and the visibility, you would get here is immense, ranging from taking part in devising strategies, take part in product roadmap discussions, attending and speaking at the leading conferences. On a personal front, Qualys has also supported my domain certifications People are technically sharp, mostly collaborate well. There is definitely less politics and not many people would object/try to pull you down, if you are taking more responsibilities or trying to do something good for the product I recently moved to their Bay Area office and I have heard from lot of people that the Health Plans of Qualys are one of the best in the field. It does support flexi-hour environment, which helped me in taking care of personal priorities, when needed. The salaries of Qualys - Pune, India were definitely 'Above Market', in some cases (if you match their role requirements and they like your profile) in line with companies like Google, Microsoft. The stock options given by Qualys are also 'above-average', which pushes the total compensation high, to be in line with compensations of companies like Google, Microsoft I definitely can say the boss I got here, is the best boss I have got in 10 years, who has knowledge of aspects of engineering, strategies, sales etc., which helps in building the rounded perspective while developing the product.

Cons: On the down side, I have seen its struggle with the Product Management stream. It slows down the pace of giving directions to the product; however mostly it could be because Qualys is an engineering driven company and people here, prefer to talk in technical language than business mostly. On a bright side, it does give an opportunity to engineering folks to drive the product. It takes a bit of time for people to share the knowledge and I have seen they only share if required to. Workload is surely in 'above than average' zone and you would have to juggle between work items.
