Pros

VeriSign has a great benefits package, not only covering all of the basics, such as healthcare, 401-k, etc., but providing superior versions of these options and adding in tuition reimbursement, an exceptional ESPP program, and others.

Cons

There is low morale as the future of the company is uncertain and little attempt is being made to proactively communicate to employees.

Several managers are ill-equipped to be leaders and lack some of the fundamental managerial training necessary to encourage employee growth and empowerment.

Advice to Management

Actively communicate updates on divestiture progress with employees. Do not assume information is being passed down from one managerial level to the next.

Provide incentives and recognition to employees to keep the workforce productive during this period of uncertainty.

Provide needed managerial training and actively review the performance of managers, possibly introducing a 360-degree review process.
