Verisign

Verisign is very good at what they have always done: the domain name registry and the DNS. Work is challenging, pay packages are competitive, and benefits are attractive. They have a nice cafeteria and an onsite gym facility.

Stable revenue model.

• Once a year trip to a technical conference.
• Internal company symposiums.

They are having trouble finding new growth areas.

Upper management is primarily white, and most of them have grown up through the ranks. There isn't any technical leadership in upper management.

The once rock stars have left the company for Silicon Valley, and those that are left are waiting to retire, or so it seemed.

The average age of employees is high compared to the industry standard, and that could deter the younger generation from joining the company.

The company needs fresh ideas and younger tech leaders in management.

Keep doing what you do best, but recruit some fresh talent. The company is not diverse enough.
