Cons

Beyond horrible managers. You read this often - people don't leave their company but their managers. You will be lucky if you find a good manager at Qualys. Employee treatment is close to slavery. And it's the same from top to bottom. The higher management treat the middle management same way as the middle management treat their employees.

Here are the cultural points of a manager promoting in Qualys - Favoritism, disrespectful treatment, personal ego, do as I say policy, indirect revenge of your mistakes, threatening to be fired.

I wouldn't get into details but I just worked only 1.5 years to my surprise but felt like I was working since eternity.

I am working for my current employer since a year and didn't even realize that a year is passed.

My personal suggestion would be - if you are looking to get settled and wanna enjoy your workplace, refrain from Qualys.

And last advice - do read other negative reviews. No one wastes their time writing a history on Glassdoor. They have shared their painful experience, so that others can learn.

Advice to Management

Profit and loss is your only policy. You are exploiting people because of pathetic Indian IT culture. I don't think you can change because you never learnt it over the past 20 years.
