Pros

The 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Gartner Inc. Magic Quadrant identified Proofpoint, Inc. as a leader in the “Magic Quadrant for Secure Email Gateways” for the seventh consecutive year. Stats don't lie, so obviously the product cannot be disputed. Office space looks amazing from having been interviewed there. Plenty of benefits from stock options, pension, incentives and great salary.

Cons

People's experience varies according to their ability and their mood. Management seems to be on the word of mouth, however if you do your bit you will flourish

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
