      Pros

      Stock option, fto so you always have to rely on your manager and s/he may or may not approve it depending on favoritism. 1000$ 401k match which is the max they will match, one of the worst in industry. Hr are one of the ruthless ones I have ever come across. Retaliation is highly likely if you complain thus contributing to toxic work environment.

      Cons

      Unrealistically high expectations, no work life balance, highly toxic work environment, no pip process so if manager is unhappy you can get fired on the spot. No severance package. Join this company if you want to lose your mind, self confidence and sanity working as a machine and not a human.

      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.
