After the interview process which was couple of rounds I was told by the HR that the team would like to move ahead and offer a Sr Software Developer role. This was Dec 2, 2022, They still haven’t reverted with an formal offer letter. The HR though keeping me posted but putting the blame on the org after the merger. What’s happening? Is it even worth joining Gen digital/ NortonLifeLock given the current market for 25% increase in TC? Anybody else is similar situation? TC: $130k YOE: 5yrs #offer #nortonlifelock #gen
We just had 25-30% layoffs. More are expected this spring. All I can say is be wary.
The layoff was 20% across all business units and teams.
Which layoff? There have been multiple rounds. ;) Leadership for my org said it was 25-30% across the company. :(
We are in middle of layoff. Why the f**are we still hirin I don't think it's the right time
I guess that’s why the team hiring is not getting any approvals for processing the offer. That explains all this delay. I just regret not taking the offer with a smaller firm when I had a chance. Regardless, it’s best to stay put I guess.
I would not join the company at the moment. There is too much mess and employees are not happy and want to leave in general. Everyone is thinking about joining smaller companies due to chaos in which it operates and changes are still slow as hell. Management says everything is done with good will, but the processes are nightmare ticket for ticket. Young people are leaving the company due to no long-term perspective. Every management presentation says best customer experience products, but no one in practise cares about the products. One of the best cases of missed opportunity is HideMyAss brand/product, that is literally in maintenance mode for several years and no improvements were done. At least the CEO/Managment is transparent about the problems after merger, but still better to avoid until the companies are really merged together.
What’s the offer provided by Gen including RSU and location? Do you have a back up offer?
I had backup offer with a small firm for TC $175 which was time boxed, No longer available. I preferred Gen for the work and company size. Location- Toronto, CA, offer - TC $165 with no RSU
