"During my time at McAfee, I was given the opportunity to involve myself deeply into whatever I could handle. I created Windows and Linux servers, administered a server room, created production patches and fixes for customers, administer databases, wrote scripts, did security work, etc. McAfee was good at letting employees grow into whatever position they were ready to fill."

Working at McAfee in Santa Clara, CA: 15 Employee Reviews

McAfee Employee

"i have been with McAfee for 2 years, during the past a year i had 3 VP changes. The new management team are very low EQ that manages base on fear. The senior management rewards yes man and enjoys getting their ego stoked rather then hearing the truth from hardworking employees. Its creates very political and toxic environment to work. The constant strategy shift, reorg and cost cutting will not generate long term profitable growth. its constantly running in fear of its key competitors. with poor management, its hemorrhaging talents to competitors. I think is time for me to join them"
