Pros

SSL247 offers a vibrant, friendly and multicultural environment. I had the opportunity to build and manage the Marketing Department. I worked on a broad range of marketing initiatives – both offline and online - in close collaboration with skillful colleagues and external partners. I learnt a lot during my time at SSL247 alongside its experienced leaders. The web security industry is a fast moving sector which enables you to demonstrate proactivity and adaptability - and to create and deploy marketing programs within short timeframes. I found that it really offers great marketing challenges and good career opportunities.

Cons

During the period I spent there I noticed that SSL247 made progress on the things that I thought could be improved when I joined such as on-boarding processes (more HR resources have been allocated to the London office) and communication between offices.

Pros

- SSL247 hires a lot of young inexperienced staff so it's a good way to step in the industry and get some experience even if you just graduated. - Some staff are very professional and friendly, it's a pleasure to work with them. - You are quickly given more responsibilities and have a shot at showing what you're capable of. - International company and 2 offices in France and UK.

Cons

- Top managers maintain a toxic relationship with their employees: one is extremely rude towards staff, swears a lot and shows an unacceptable behaviour, the other is too distant (stays in another office) and hard to communicate with. - Lack of gender equality (female are more represented in repetitive office jobs, male are more represented in higher responsibility and management jobs) - Micro-management is the norm as well as constant changes in company direction. - The company persists in its errors and keeps blaming staff when failing to reach (unrealistic) targets. - No incentive to go the extra mile, success is poorly rewarded. - Management shows its obvious preference for the needs of the sales department

Dear former Colleague, We value your feedback and have taken on-board and shared your comments with our management team. We are glad you recognise the scope increasing responsibility for higher achievers. Regarding equality: at the time of writing, we have an equal number of male and female managers and our overall female to male ratio far exceeds the average for tech/software companies (source: Wall Street Journal – November ’15). Regarding company direction this is shared and monitored openly every year at the annual December ‘company day’ that precedes the Christmas party, and that includes every team member from the UK as well as France. You are probably unaware, in 2015, SSL247® ranked in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA as one of the fastest growing tech companies in Europe. In addition, we received the “2015 Symantec EMEA Sales Growth Partner Award” and the “EMEA Symantec Champion 2014”. We however, take this opportunity to wish you the very best in your future endeavours. Thank you. HR Manager
