Pros

Competent co-workers who are mostly collaborative

Cons

Employees are being ask to do more and more to the point that I've seen serious impacts on the health and well being of my co-workers. They are squeezing employees by being tight on head count and expecting you to do the job of multiple people. At the same time, they've changed the performance evaluation process and bonus philosophy so that you work more and more and you get less recognition and lower compensation. This seems to be a way for the company to save money. HR and upper management are aware of this but nothing seems to be changing. This is the "new" Palo Alto networks, join at your own risk.

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.
