Pros
Proofpoint has great products and services. They are founded on strong core service products and are positioned well across a world-wide market. They pay a better than average compensation and have good benefits. They have good general training for both products and Sales methods. They also offer generous additional compensation.
Cons
Proofpoint is management heavy and has a reputation for too much Sales turnover within the sales channel and their customer account managers in general. Their frontline Sales turnover is very high and does not serve their customers well. Additionally, the company overtly promotes DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity) and both directly and indirectly pressures employees to adopt those practices and liberal ideology with little regard to other opinion or feelings. Their training needs to be better for the product market segments that they best serve - particularly the products geared for SME market segments. There was a definite disconnect in understanding how those products really worked for their customers verses how they were promoted and how Sales people were taught to present them.
