Qualys

The engineering groups are staffed with very intelligent engineers who have passion for what they do. They utilize both Waterfall as well as Agile methodologies depending on the group or product and have the leeway to stay with what works or use cutting edge technologies within their products.

While all companies have turn-over, it is not unusual (actually it's fairly common) to see ex-employees come back after 1-3 years away.

In addition the HR department actively looks for new benefits to improve the quality of our work life and/or family.

More than any other company I've worked for Qualys actively tries to promote from within rather than going outside for lead or management positions.

While you can get a much higher salary going to a startup, I think the combination of salary, bonuses and benefits make this a great place to work.

The transition from startup to public company has required numerous additional processes and procedures to satisfy external requirements. Nothing that any other public company doesn't have to do, but what a bummer.

Stay the course.
