McAfee, Inc. Named Best Employer in CMP Media's Software Development Reader

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ McAfee, Inc. (NYSE: MFE), the leader in Intrusion Prevention and Security Risk Management, today announced it has been named Best Employer (small to medium-sized business category) in CMP Media's Software Development Third Annual Reader's Choice Awards, edging out SAS and Sybase.
"Last year, large companies dominated all the categories due to their ubiquity and installed base; this year, we decided to recognize overall winners as well as winners in small and medium-sized businesses that aren't in the Fortune 1,000. We're pleased that our readers recognized McAfee as an excellent place of employment," said Software Development's technical editor Rosalyn Lum.
As one reader said, "McAfee has progressed from the 1960s dark ages of software development to modern agile methodologies. Each team picks its own mix of methods. These advancements have enabled the entire McAfee company to focus on the user experience instead of how many new features can be added."
Voting was controlled by sending an invitation to Software Development readers containing a personal identification number ensuring that votes made using a duplicate PIN can be removed; all suspect votes were eliminated from the data pool. Additionally, the editors tracked voters' Internet domains and found no correlation between corporate domains (such as Oracle.com) and products from the same company.
"Winning this award is great recognition that McAfee's technology leadership and work environment continues to resonate within the IT community," said Christopher Bolin, chief technology officer and executive vice president of McAfee. "We strive to make McAfee an exceptional place to work for our engineering talent and this third-party endorsement validates our success."
