      Pros

      Some smart people, good company events, a lot of swag and nice new digs...

      Cons

      Used to be a great collaborative place to work where I could voice my opinion about what was or wasn't working, but now it's all about the politics. We used to have at least a couple HR people who cared about the teams and tried to help, but they've been run out of the company or fled. Now there is no one who listens to the employees who isn't playing their own political game. Too much cronyism across the company. You have to be part of the "in" crowd to get ahead, and while some of the execs think people don't see it, it is blatantly clear that being one of the boys, is more important than being good at your job.

      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.
