Pros

- Plenty of opportunities to apply skillsets, and learn new ones as the company evolves its portfolio and reach. - Outstanding alignment across the leadership team on mission, vision, and strategy. - Clarity of purpose and focus at a molecular level....avoiding needless distractions. - Business enabling functions are there to help. If they don't have an answer for you right then and there, they will get one quickly. - True passion across functions to do the right thing for talent. Our Human Resources partner has been brilliant, helping the team develop comprehensive talent strategies to achieve our goals.

Cons

- As the company grows and scales, the willingness to abandon the old ways which may have worked in the past but won't work in the future, will be critical. - Working smarter and not harder, and finding balance, will become more important as the company scales.

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.
