Work environment here is completely and utterly messed up. We have layoffs all the time and we have to stress about that non-stop. But even when a round is done and we're still here we can't celebrate. Now we have to do extra work to cover what those... — read more
Topics regarding layoffs at McAfee
Now's the time
With more layoffs on the way, now is the perfect time to start looking for a new job. And trust me (since I've done both before,) it is so much easier to look for a job when you're already employed then after you've been laid off. But if you don't... — read more

From cool company to mobster led clan
Chris Young took on the challenge to turn a tiny Intel business unit into a cool cyber security company that employees loved, were proud of and were happy to work for. That worked out as the company was governed by technocrats, who understood... — read more
Get out while you can
If you're a software engineer, your days here are numbered. Go and look at openings for software engineers at careers.mcafee.com. Notice something? Almost 90 percent of available positions are in India. And guess who they're replacing? This has been... — read more
I still like my job, am I really the only one?
Reading through these posts it seems like everybody who is still at McAfee hates the fact they're still here. I guess I'm among the few who still like their job here. Pay and benefits are decent and my coworkers and even my boss are great folks, so... — read more
Build a safety net
A colleague told me this shortly after I started - build a safety net. After I survived my first round of layoffs I understood what he meant. I’m still here but for how long - I don’t know. I don’t enjoy knowing that the fate of my employment lies... — read more
Layoffs every year
I worked there for 9 years and only just recently moved to a different company. While I was there I saw layoffs at least once every year. Some years bigger than others. Some years saw layoffs happen twice. It's normal for McAfee. Just wanted to... — read more
No more layoffs for the next 6 months?
Judging by the past few rounds, there is usually six months between any larger layoffs. Which means we should be safe until June or July, right?
Did McAfee ever have job security?
I've been here for three years and in that time I've learned that the threat of layoffs is a normal part of my job. It's not something I'm used to yet and it's making my job extra stressful. Now I'm wondering if it's always been like that? If it has... — read more
Is everything done?
Can we now say with certainty that layoffs are done?
Bring back US based support!
Our company started using McAfee about the time they shifted virtually all phone support to outside the US. The folks on my team would constantly complain about difficulties understanding McAfee’s outsourced phone support with their thick accents and... — read more
McAfee Argentina is gone
I haven’t seen anyone mention that McAfee closed the Córdoba office, 1/2 of EMEA sales and SEs.
When will this end?
Looks like every day we hear news about more layoffs. I'm starting to wonder when exactly is this going to end? It's already nerve-wracking to know layoffs are happening but to have no idea when it will end? That just rubs salt into an already... — read more
When I Left
I told the current management they had poor judgement when I left before the layoffs. There is nothing more true. Short this stock.

What’s left of the old McAfee?
I was laid off last year and I stopped by this site just to see how the whole show is going. Unfortunately, nothing seems to have changed. I remember better days when the name of this company still meant something and I’m wondering what is left of... — read more
TPG, Thoma Bravo at it again...
Remember, it's all about cash flow. They will continue to cut, close offices, cut capital and expenses, payroll, etc.
Anyone know if the layoffs are ongoing?
Noticed lots of posts on LinkedIn and here about this round of layoffs. Does anyone know if they are still actively making cuts?

You'll be okay
I heard about the layoffs and had to check in. I was laid off last year and while I know it's not the same situation as this time due to the pandemic, I still believe firmly all of you will be okay. There are still available jobs out there, many with... — read more
Anyone willing to share severance details?
This RIF is ongoing with no communication from leadership on when an "all clear" will be announced. For those of us who have not yet been notified either way, are there any impacted individuals who would be willing to share (high level) what their... — read more
Are they laying off the best people again?
It’s amazing to me that at a time when cybersecurity is more important than ever, Mcafee does business the way it does. Due to the lack of transparency of this company, I still do not know the scale of the cuts, but I assume that the measures taken... — read more

Skyhigh people layoffs?
Any one knows what's going on with skyhigh people at McAfee? Are we growing our cloud security business?
Any news?
This forum has been quite lately , any layoffs news, or acquisitions coming? Who will buy Mcafee do you think? or will we become a public company?
OK, That's It
Well, it's kinda hard to grow revenues when the company hasn't really invested in any of its homegrown products in several years. Instead, McAfee borrowed a ton of money from Wall Street, using some to buy Skyhigh Networks (getting into the cloud... — read more

Used to work there about 10 years ago
Did not have layoffs - McAfee was a good company to work at at that time. I hear things have changed.
