      Pros

      industry Leader: Palo Alto Networks is a recognized leader in the cybersecurity industry, and working there provides an opportunity to gain valuable experience in this field. Learning Opportunities: The company offers various training programs and resources to help employees enhance their skills and knowledge, which can benefit career development.

      Cons

      Micromanagement: One of the most significant drawbacks was the excessive micromanagement from our District Sales Manager. Their lack of management experience created an oppressive work environment that stifled creativity. Toxic Workplace: The workplace culture was undeniably toxic, characterized by high quotas and unrealistic expectations. This led to an incredibly stressful atmosphere that took a toll on employees' well-being. Incompetent Sales Overlays: Some of the sales overlays, often referred to as "speedboats," displayed a noticeable lack of competence. This hindered collaboration and made it challenging to achieve our goals. Lack of Accountability: Accountability issues were prevalent within the system engineering team, which had consequences for the organization as a whole. The absence of accountability added to the overall frustration.

      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.
