Verisign reviews about "upper management"

Bad management: There are a few seriously spoiled apples in low to mid management, and upper management has no clue. They *promised* (in writing) that Verisign would stay in fully remote mode even after the pandemic. And now they force the employees back into the office, for now only 2 days, but we know where this is heading. You cannot trust management on any level. Run if you have other options.

Work is uninspiring and the organizational structure is highly hierarchical, with power concentrated among upper management. Accountability for failures tends to fall on lower-level employees. Building relationships with senior executives is essential for success and job security; those who cannot navigate this dynamic may struggle to remain with the company. Additionally, the company has now mandated a return to the office for two days a week, despite previously promising employees that remote work would continue.

They are having trouble finding new growth areas. The upper management is primarily white and most of them have grown up the ranks. There isn't any technical leadership in the upper management. The once rock stars have left the company to Silicon Valley and those that are left are waiting to retire or so it seemed. The average age of employees is high compared to industry standard and that could deter younger generation from joining the company. The company needs fresh ideas and younger tech leaders in the management.

High stress atmosphere. Often poor or conflicting direction from upper management.
