Pros

Great culture focused on innovation and collaboration. Leadership invests heavily in cybersecurity leadership and staying ahead of industry threats. Strong technical teams with talented engineers and architects who are willing to help each other succeed. Good compensation packages and benefits compared to most technology companies. Opportunities to learn cutting-edge security technologies and work with large enterprise customers. Pre-sales teams and account teams generally work well together and support each other.

Cons

The pace can be intense and expectations are high, especially in customer-facing roles. Internal processes and tools sometimes change quickly as the company scales, which can create some confusion. Like many fast-growing tech companies, priorities can shift frequently and teams must adapt quickly.

Pros

Largest cyber security company in the world with an ever-expanding portfolio

Cons

Largest cyber security company in the world with an ever-expanding portfolio. They buy companies quicker than they can integrate them and is the antithesis of a caring employer. Nikesh could layoff 80% of employees tomorrow and the stock would still skyrocket. I decided to pursue a new opportunity after CyberArk was acquired and prior to giving my official two week notice I let my team know, and started training them in our brand new cutting edge solutions so that they could take over my workload without any roadblocks or hiccups. As soon as I put in my two week notice the company locks me out and cuts off all of my benefits and does not pay me for the notice that I have given, putting my family in a very precarious place during the interim of my work. This is by far one of the most classless things I’ve seen a company do, please watch out for yourself at Palo because no one in management will. I am extremely passionate about the space that I operate in and often found myself working 12 hour days- the ability to have work life balance at a place like Palo Alto is zero.
