Pros

Good long-time employees, bonuses and ESPP are very nice. Major benefit is the career development path for individual technical contributors. You can basically have the same level as a Director or Senior Director by making major individual contributions.

Cons

The division is essentially divided into identity (SecurID group in Massachusetts) and network (NetWitness group in Virginia). SecurID is starved for resources despite profitability.

Pros

Relationships at the individual contributor level. Bright and talented engineering staff. Decent benefits.

Cons

RSA used to be a company that fostered and supported organic innovation while making best in class security products. The current leadership is only interested in making huge bets on the latest buzz words (cloud, big data, analytics) while reducing investment (and people) in core technologies. Innovation and invention has been replaced with mergers and acquisitions.

Quarter-to-quarter management

Pros

Flexible working schedules. No problem working from home. Compensation about average. Salary is divided between base and bonus. Some managers think the bonus is automatic and some don't. Company says it is not automatic.

Cons

Any long term plan is abandoned at first sign of difficulty. EMC (parent company) seems to manage resources (i.e., people) on a quarter-to-quarter basis: layoffs are frequent. Lots of management politics. New products are not bringing in the revenue of the old standby - SecurID - and even that product in bringing in less and less. Always lots of talk of EMC selling RSA.
