Pros

There are still some wonderful people here who truly care about their teams and want to make a difference. The talent at the individual level remains strong.

Cons

Constant leadership turnover has led to continuous KPI changes that are confusing and difficult to measure. How success is defined for the Marketing team gets harder and harder to explain. Dysfunctional alignment and communication between Marketing and Sales leadership creates unnecessary friction and makes it difficult to show marketing’s true impact. Unreasonable manual workloads driven by broken dashboards and inaccessible data. Too much time spent on tasks that should be automated, leaving little bandwidth for meaningful analysis. Morale is the lowest I have seen during my time here. The people who helped make Palo Alto Networks one of the best places to work are leaving, and it shows.

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.
