Pros

Coming to Proofpoint has been a breath of fresh air! Proofpoint cares about it's employees and has a very transparent organization. I've been able to get support and mentorship from people from many different departments. Being brand new to the security and software industry has been challenging but there are many opportunities for training. Also I love the healthy snack program!

Cons

Alignment between sales and marketing could be a little better, but it's still not bad at all and the people in charge are open to suggestions.

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.
