Pros

Palo Alto is a the biggest cyber security company in the world. There are a lot of highly talented people, great WLB, and we get to work on mature products with great customers. The products of Palo are at the top of the cyber product with amazing capabilities. We get very good TC, the salary is very competitive.

Cons

No refreshers and raises are not significant. The offices are very modest and the company doesn’t do much in term of fun/employee experience. It’s a place you come to work and go home, friendships can hardly form. Since it’s a huge organization you feel sometime overlooked and your growth isn’t really in their managers headspace.

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.
