Pros

There are free snacks in the pantry.

Cons

A company's stock is a true indicator of its performance. Qualys is going down.

Management here is a wonderful example of insecurity, immaturity and manipulation.

Managers here are incompetent and senior managers are more so.

Customer dissatisfaction is at the highest and to retain customers heavy discounts are given which cuts revenue and bonuses.

Upper management is autocratic and frankly are a bunch of old farts.

Please do not be fooled by the videos that are floating around. 2 second visibility is only possible in controlled demos. In reality it takes hours to get anything done and most of the time customers are frustrated when they see an "error message" after waiting for a couple of hours.

There are some great program managers but they are mostly ignored because their suggestions would make engineering managers obsolete. And frankly no one outside Qualys would hire them.

HR is non existent, there only job is to dress up, fake an accent and post pictures or videos.

Advice to Management

Sell sell sell.
