Pros

Established company that is positioned well in relevant fields.

Lots of potential in international areas if the company can get its act together.

Finally gotten rid of lots of dead weight (employees). The company is trying not to be everything to all people, which is good.

Cons

Lack of real innovation.

Too beholden to business buzzwords.

Too bad that VeriSign has wasted so much money on acquisitions, real estate, and other failed things.

People do make a difference in the company, but that is not evident in policy.

Need to inspire employees and invest in the future.

Advice to Management

Be more balanced. Too focused on a few things that don't inspire employees. Need to invest money, not just crimp and save.
