Pros

Imperva makes a great product.

Cons

2 layoffs and several managers in a short period of time says a lot about a company and it's commitment to retention. Management has had almost a 100% turnover in less than an year. New CEO is arrogant and does not mingle with the "little people". Unless you are in the "inner circle" you don't exist. He hires like minded people who are more worried about being the "Cool Kid on the Cool Team" than actually doing anything meaningful. Upper management are rude and often throw temper tantrums when things are not going as expected. Employees are not treated with respect, but rather punching bags for managers. There is a lot of inner fighting amongst teams and goes ignored by management. Makes working together a chore and does not allow for productive or effective results. Imperva was once a great company to work for, but those days are long gone and as long as the current management is in place you will see a revolving door... unless they continue to hire the minions with the "yes man" mentality.

Imperva has gone through a significant amount of change to transform our business for profitable growth. We recognize that change is not easy. Our goal is and has been to undertake this journey in a manner that builds a culture of transparency, inclusion, collaboration, and communication. We have encouraged and continue to embrace diverse perspectives from our employees to help shape the future of Imperva. For example, we’ve implemented an open and transparent communication system where employees have many opportunities to participate, contribute and provide feedback on all of our key company strategic initiatives and priorities. We hold weekly internal forums and “Open Door” leader chats, and quarterly All Hands – and also issue NPS surveys for all events to ensure we capture valuable inputs and feedback. Through our transformation, we have appointed some new members to our leadership team from varied backgrounds and who bring a diverse set of perspectives. The CEO Staff consists of members from the prior leadership team, some promoted internally, some hired externally with no prior relationship with the CEO, and some externally who have worked with the CEO. As a leadership team, we remain committed to building an open, transparent and inclusive environment for all employees.
