Pros

Fantastic product and great place to work. Growth in EMEA keeps things exiting and presents good opportunity for progression into a number of different roles. Pay is on the high side of the scale and the targets are very fair so achieving OTE's is very realistic. Proofpoint acquire other relevant security companies and integrate them very well keeping us ahead of the competition and keep our customers protected against the latest threats.

Cons

Some legacy processes can slow things down, but they are mostly being addressed and improving all the time.

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.
