Pros

- HR aside, there are wonderful people in the business functions to work with - The technology is outstanding and continues to improve - Strong belief in keeping businesses safe from cyber attacks - Solid comp and benefit plans - Friendly, casual work environment

Cons

This review is written for those who are considering an HR career at McAfee: - There has been at least 80% turnover of the entire HR function over the past 18 months. - Men are outwardly discriminated against. Less than 7% of the entire HR population is male and just recently they added a male to the HR leadership team. Men are viewed as a threat to HR leadership. - Dozens of high-performing HR employees have been terminated on a whim with no explanation. - They push a message of diversity but are unwilling to back it up with action or investment. - Career advancement is directly tied to how close you are with the CHRO. - Some Senior HR leaders refuse to meet with their direct reports one on one. - Management asks for long-term strategies yet takes no action once they're delivered. - Sr. Leaders in HR refuse to make difficult decisions for fear of looking "bad" in front of the business. - McAfee conducts a background check on all social media accounts. If you "liked" something seven years ago that they deem questionable, your offer will be terminated.
