McAfee is a great brand and has some amazing products. They are generous in giving compensation and other benefits. However, eventually all boils down to two things 1. Which project/team you are working on and 2. whom are you reporting to. If these two things are good then rest are just bells and whistles. I hope you agree with me. There are some really high quality engineers who have vast experience and they are very helpful. One needs to have really good etiquette and email writing skills as well because you will have to interact a lot with people from other cultures and geographies. However, overall experience has been great and it is highly recommendable.
