Working at Symantec

    It's always hard to know what to expect when going in for that interview -- and preparation can make all the difference. What is the interview process like at Symantec? Any advice on striking the right note?

    Do you work at Symantec? How did you find the job? How did you get that first interview? Any advice for someone trying to get in?

    Stay Away From Symantec: I won't argue with you about their products; always have done a decent job. However their company policies and business practices are right out of SCAM City! Online purchases automatically enroll you in an "Auto-Renewal" program. You are apparently informed about this (as has been pointed out to me now) but it is in the small 'legal' print at the bottom of a long email. This "fine print" gives Symantec the rights to access your bank/credit card accounts and withdraw fees at their will!! STAY AWAY FROM THESE PRODUCTS! Once they have your money; good luck getting it back! I had to argue and argue til my wits were at an end with people that couldn't speak 10 words of english. I finally did get the funds back; however the withdrawl that I was not informed about caused a bank account to overdraft. Sure, it's only $28, but when your on a tight budget living paycheck to paycheck $28 is quite a bit. Symantec flatly refuses to do anything about the overdraft fees; their response is that they are not responsible for 3rd party charges; regardless if their withdrawal caused the overdraft or not. This reaks of SCAM to me! I have never been treated so unfairly; uncompassionally; or rudely by any company.... ever! I will never again own, use, recommend, or EVER purchase software from Symantec again.

    Every business has its own style. What is the office environment and culture like at Symantec? Are people dressed in business casual, jeans and t-shirts, or full-on suits? Do folks get together for Friday happy hours and friendly get-togethers? What is a typical day in the life of an employee at Symantec?
