Pros

There's a variety of food trucks that come onsite. However, they need to bring on healthier options for their employees.

Cons

There is a reason why employees only stay at Proofpoint for 1 year or less. It really comes down to the management style and how recruiting coordinators are being treated. The worst feeling is when a manager makes you feel invaluable and that you are replaceable. At times, many of my colleagues felt afraid to approach the manager. Proofpoint is an environment where you can put your head down and work, but never feel happy.

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.
