Hi everyone, any opinions on working for McAfee? I’ve been looking to break into the cyber security industry, and I have an interview with the company this week. I know they’ve had a debatable reputation over the years, but I feel like it could be a good opportunity to gain experience in the industry? Thanks for your input.

Experience is good but they suck. I just recently left the company, was on the federal side and when I say it was the worst company to work for, trust me!
