ProsWorking in McAfee will really challenge you and the culture here is great.
Sometimes it might be hectic but the management is supportive and this makes your work life balance a bit easier. you do get recognized as well if team or you as an individual do some great stuff.

ConsSometimes processes or things get postponed a bit too long which could have helped improve efficiency of employees but then that is common.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
