Pros
* Industry-Leading Technology * Work with some really smart people * Proofpoint has a reputation in the industry of being the best at Advanced Email Security Protections
Cons
* MicroManagement is out of control. Too many layers of manages needing their own spreadsheets filled out to report up to the next. * Quotas are completely unattainable which is by design and controlled by CFO; Everyone has the same quota in segment and has nothing to do with your actual territory or opportunity space within your book of accounts * Very Limited leads, unqualified at best. * Still building out partner ecosystem; need to do a better job of in incentivizing/ working with partners to drive business our way * Bait and switch environment; Told one thing when you come into territory and complete opposite takes place. When you bring it up, no one seems to cares * With a company of this size, 401k match is very low at 2% compared to industry * Too many layers of management- 6 layers between rep and CEO * Growth happened too fast this way behind on improving internal technologies, slow systems, quoting tools etc. * We are known in the industry as an “email security company “. Good when selling email security, not good when you are trying to sell anything else. * Very expensive solutions compared to market
