Process

I cleared the first two rounds, but after that, I didn't hear from HR for seven days.

When I called them about the third round, they informed me that I hadn't been picked, even though I had in the previous round.

There has been no response from them when I have asked them why I have been rejected.

I have emailed them five reminders, but they have not responded.

Qualys Work Experiences

Be gratefull for what you have in Qualys

QA Lead Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: When compared to other companies and specially start ups Qualys has a much better work environment and work policy. I appreciated them only after I have rejoined Qualys.

Cons: The company has moved to an annual appraisal cycle for everyone from this year. The hikes have been good and bad all across. First time I have seen average performers getting bad appraisals.

Supportive colleagues but poor work-life balance

Pros: There is good exposure and growth. The colleagues are supportive.

Cons: The work-life balance is on edge. There are 27 hours weekly compulsory in the office. It is never 9 to 5. You need to work at night as well. There is no stock for 1 year for freshers. You can't vest stock for one more year again after getting them. It is basically 2 years.
