Pros

Good technology story. Good partners. Good people. San Diego weather and lifestyle.

Cons

Culture has significantly changed in the past year. Chainsaw Al would now be the sr management role model. Turnover (both voluntary and involuntary) is multiple factors higher than the past.

Working at Websense

Pros

Websense is a solid company with an ability to weather even hard economic times. Anyone looking for a company that isn't going anywhere any time soon will likely find that in Websense.

Cons

As a rapidly growing company with offices around the world, sometimes the individual employees start to become nothing more than the service they can provide the company. This isn't a problem faced only by Websense, but one that does plague them like it does many other fast-growing companies.

It's all a numbers game...

Pros

Working in San Diego and most of the lower level people are nice and in the same boat and of the same opinions as you. To varying degrees you are either left alone to do your job as you see fit, or micromanaged.

Cons

It's all about various metrics- customer satisfaction, when a release is timed for maximum market impact regardless if it is ready or not, how fast you close support tickets even if the problem is resolved or not. Did you get x number of tickets closed each day, did you get a bad CSAT score that wasn't your fault and you have no control over because someone else didn't do what they should have before the ticket was handed to you. It's also about busywork and paperwork for management that wastes people's time creating, gets others yelled at for things beyond their control, and contributes to an overall demoralized attitude. There's also flawed internal certifications that contribute to low morale- the mangement has been told by their senior staff where the flaws are, yet they refuse to fix the flaws and then fail/hold over your head that you haven't passed. What most people don't know is how many people are looking for other opportunities. There's a fear attitude as several people have been fired, and management within some departments is a revolving door. You don't know who you'll report to next, and on top of that it's happened right before review time which means you'll probably get a meaningless review. (Along with no raise to boot)
