Symantec Employer Reviews

Best place I have ever worked, very challenging and motivating environment.
Good compensation and management.

A typical day at work would consist of checking emails, followed by plans for the day. General agenda items would include attending organised meetings, calling customers to arrange new meetings, quoting, follow up, and then checking emails at a close.
The hardest part of the job is securing new meetings with new clients as they can be evasive in agreeing – more... to a first up meeting.
Management is tough but fair, the new VP is very employee and customer focused which is a nice change to his predecessor.
The remote office that I work in has a great vibe where all segments of the business interact freely and get along well.
The most enjoyable part of the job would be attending events with clients as it's a great way to open the door for new opportunity. – less

Job is not what I signed up for. Many of my co-workers are wonderful to work for but like other companies, manager is hit and miss. There are some very great managers here but, also some real duds.

Good team work, excellent management, freedom todo the work required at your own speed. Game room to relax on breaks and a great place to eat lunch everyday. Big responsibilities to make sure the UK and Irish consuemr market got what was needed to help them with their product/s.

I worked very hard. I heard this is a slave camp, but that was my choice to work hard. most people did. that is morally the right thing to do, when you have a job. I rate job security/advancement very low, as I was laid off, rather than promoted, especially hurtful after 4 long years (of slavery). work/life balance very low too, because there was never – more... talk about personal lives. company parties was as far as that went, and that is more a team building exercise than our true personal lives. wish we could support each other more! yes I believe a more casual environment is a better one. people need to thrive, not just survive. compensation was OK, I was happy, but want more raises. don't we all. culture/values is also poor. they had their core values, of course, but I don't relate well to them. what is brand? I had trouble with that. how about we just work hard and create a good product! thats what excites me. I prefer culture/values to address/acknowledge our personal lives, rather than corporate mumbo jumbo. maybe I am too casual, too personal, but I feel my company would be better in that regard. management is OK score, I had some competent managers and coworkers, which lifts morale, but they did lack in the sense of they all, all my managers, should have, could have, mentored me more than they did. I feel I should have been instructed more, led in the right direction at least. overall not too bad, I was glad to learn the things that I did. casual Fridays was nice. but I still got burned out. I needed MON off, for a whlie, 3 day weekend helped me recover. vacation time was OK, you could save maximum 6 weeks, but mostly it was the standard 2 weeks per year. a decent job, decent people, can't really complain. but I do want more out of it. I have to fault them on this. more personal, more mentoring, more interactive, would be nice. less dictatorship, yet I do understand the need for dictator, the work must get done, I understand that. – less

I enjoy assisting guests and co-workers to meet a range of business needs.
A typical work day will consist of manage incoming and outgoing communications via email, calls, or projects i.e. visitor sign-ins, host contacts, conference room scheduling and assigning facilities for set up and break downs, travel/ hotel and other directions.
Using MS Office – more... applications for projects such as update logs, input work orders on data base BIG. Register employees in the Rideshare open enrolments; distribute ECO passes, Facilities Aperture Reports, Monthly Reports, Newsletter-creating and publishing and update internal contact information lists. Tracking package log-ins and creating shipping packing slips via the internet for domestic and international shipping. – less

I had a lot of fun here had it not been for the company going under I would have to say that I would still be employed at this location.

Over the years I have worked with Symantec , I have learned lots of New Technologies.Its wonderful place to work . Work culture is very positive. Seniors and colleagues are very helpful.

Flexible timings
Great management
Table tennis tables
Teams are great
Great mentorship culture
Good career development

A company of multiple mergers and acquisitions..........................................................................................................................................................................................................

Through this job, I have learned to cooperate with others as a team and manage multi-task in a fast-paced environment. I made a significant improvement on my social skills as well as computer skills. Working at Symantec was certainly a rewarding experience for me.

This position involved a lot of computer work and coordination among global partners.

There is a lot to learn but over all work/life balance is lacking since there is always a pressure to work long hours and work doesn't get appreciated all the times.

Awesome, trusting, Integrity, Fun, Desriable, Work Lfie Balance

Good company - Good work and life balance
Good co-worker
Good location

Smart hard working people.
Due to it's size, can be hard to navigate.

I enjoyed my time working here; however, I always felt that there was too much middle management. Made it difficult to get things done.

Team work, Great place to learn fire wall, and most enjoyable part of the job. Hardest part of this job was I have to work late and weekend.

THe company needs to invest for the future rather than milk the cash cow products indefinitely. It also needs to learn how to incubate new products or take an alternative approach to entering new businesses - by acquiring going concerns and building around them.

Overall good place to gain knowledge. nice place to get exposure to corporate life.
