Sales is best IF you meet your quota
Engineer (Former Employee), Plano, TX – February 24, 2012
Pros: good facilities, probably better than average pay
Cons: senior management, very weak 401k, mediocre health benefits
Sales and support are the only parts of McAfee that get the perks and have time to play in the company game rooms or use other facilities at different locations. Accounting/Finance/I.T. is usually under-manned and under-funded. The company tends to talk the good talk but if you follow the actions, they do not correlate.

Poor Leadership
Engineering Director (Current Employee), USA – June 11, 2012
Pros: salaries
Cons: leadership weakness
Since becoming acquired by Intel the SMT have become very limited in decisiveness.

The individual BU's are focussed purely on each quarters delivery and pays little regard to longer term planning.

The core technologies in some of then BU's are not being invested in correctly and the company is losing key staff too rapidly.

A Casual work atmosphere coupled with good management.
IT Support Engineer (Former Employee), Banglore – May 18, 2012
Pros: free cab service to and from work
Being employed with McAfee for over a period of 1 year and 5 months was pretty much a learning curve. I learned the L1 and L2 level of support to clients in the APAC region.The Management was always very supportive and sensitive to our needs.The Hardest part of My job was to handle irate customers expecting a real quick fix for their problems. A few – more... words about the most enjoyable part of my job is I get to speak to all lot clients and they satisfaction I receive after troubleshooting their problems gives me immense happiness and satisfaction. – less
