Pros

*fast paced *great product *frequent cross collaboration *work-life balance

Cons

*no advancement, especially for women and people of color *career opportunities and growth go to the "boys club" and "cronies, if you are not part of either, forget trying to get ahead *D&I is all hype, lip service and run by all the wrong people, it's clear this effort is only to "check the boxes" *HR cannot be trusted, they have failed in so many ways and too often, some of the management and people partners need to go *too many friends working for friends here, this practice gets in the way of good decision making and judgement, bad for business *don't you dare report bad behavior, concerns or give your bosses feedback, there will be retribution and you will be made to be the "problem"

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.
