"McAfee is a fantastic workplace and offered great benefits and perks for their employees. I would look forward to working with this company again in the future."

"McAfee has been a great company to work for. They have gone through many staff reductions at my location over the years, and engineering is now ceasing completely, but those who've been laid off were always well taken care off by the company."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Give people plenty of notice that RIFs are likely, so they can try to find other opportunities inside the company and out. Be a little more generous with the severance package for senior folks - we can't just walk down the street to our next job. Tell your middle and line managers that it's the twenty-first century, and telecommuting actually WORKS. You don't need to disregard and disrespect perfectly qualified candidates who were working there just one month ago because they don't live in your city, where you can see them working in your office every day."
