FireEye Reviews

Pros

Hiring/Compensation/Rewards & Benefits: • Hiring standards are very good. • Compensation & benefits are in par with industry standards. Never felt under paid :) • Most of the rewards & recognition are designed to be mutually valuable while in long term association. I personally feel financially secured while planning for a long term career at Fireeye. Location: • Lot of decent residential... societies close to Fireeye Bangalore office. Work: • If choose to learn and deliver on specific programming language or technology opportunities are plenty. • Engineering heads are highly focused and there is always a thought process and plan for "how, what & why" for all deliverables. • There are no trial projects. Though quick POCs are done to evaluate, consider or discard technologies/ideas. • Every engineer is made to feel special and valuable. Every team member knows his/her deliverables for current and upcoming projects. • One can reach out to any level in the org to put forward an idea or change. People here listen to each other. • Mentoring on the job is very effective and is working out. • Cross team collaboration is very good. Never felt isolated work culture. • Managers – All managers are technical experts themselves and becomes easy to communicate technical challenges. Fun/Work-life balance: • Reasonable number of fun events, celebration of festivals & team building activates at work. My daughter loves "bring kid to work" day event :) • Cafeteria food is good most of the times. Special lunch during festivals is always good :) • Sports tournaments are well organized and I participated in some of the matches. It’s really well done.

Cons

Some suggestions: • If we have few cross functional teams like product management and program management teams locally would help Bangalore team. • If we can have kids place inside office would help working parents to bring kids to work during sick day or school off days.

Advice to Management

Going great!!

Pros

Work life balance is good. Teams are friendly and helpful. Compensation paid is upto industrial standards. 24x7 pantry available for everyone. Work is really good and you get to learn a lot. Higher management is easily approachable. Flexible working hours.

Cons

Although you get free food, you end up getting your own lunch after a few months. Company stocks have been going a bit down recently. Less number of employee benefits as compared to other big companies

Pros

New opportunities and good work-life balance

Cons

Nothing as of now seen

Pros

Good Hiring/Compensation/Rewards & Benefits Nic people to work with. Work was a good scal.e Free Lunch Heard they have gym open now too.

Cons

Nothing much for me, i felt pace of work was slow, coming from startup env(that might be reason)

Pros

Great products, good autonomy in coding and working for the greater good. Work life balance and working from home option is a good productivity and creativity booster.

Cons

India site upper mgmt seems to be in an ivory tower. Motivation and leadership skills are absent. When the going gets tough the leadership goes silent !! All hands are sheer waste of time. Losing it sheen day by day. 2019 has been really bad with most hiring happening at fresh grad levels only leading to work overload on the seniors. Career growth is a thing of the past. Need to pull up socks or perish by losing... great talent to competition

Advice to Management

Either the compensation has to go up significantly or the RSU allocations in the light of the stagnant stock price. Fine tune overall operations and execution engine Working in silos is the norm. Burn that down. Promote internally but avoid name sake promotions that involve only title change and nothing else

Pros

Free lunch and good leaves

Cons

Micro management at its peak Incompetent lower and higher management

Pros

The company is struggling but still have the ability to strive back and get back on its feet. But due to constant change in leadership, and strategies, it's not able to do so Variety of technologies, unique challenges and helpful to gain cyber security experience Good perks as free lunch, work-life balance and typical MNC environment

Cons

Senior management in Bangalore office is too incompetent to stand for its people. No more than just puppets who stay in this company due to sheer politics. Most of my colleagues have left but they didn't blink an eye. HR people are doing a good job painting a good fake picture of Bangalore office where everybody is having fun in events. Truth is no one cares. They are the only ones in the event photos. They come... up with useless policies like car lease. Nobody uses them. A piece of advice for someone who is appearing for interviews here. If you want to get hired here, just ask the least money possible. They don't care about talent. They haven't processed even one of my more than 20 referrals (Otherwise how their consultancy alliance would work) so far in last year most of whom are working at far better companies than FireEye. This double-dealing should stop immediately.

Advice to Management

Please leave. Take HR people too.

Pros

Competitive salary. Onsite opportunity. Decent work and exposure.

Cons

Sometimes nepotism and favouritism creeps in. Needs to be avoided.
