Pros

The best company prior to the end of 2023.

Cons

I noticed below that the current CFO wrote a review below but added no detail to his review. He is second at the helm so one would think he knows how to sell this place. It is obvious his review is an extremely lazy effort to clean up the chaos and disarray he and his boss have created. I have never worked for an organization where the two top guys are so disliked by the employees. I have seen the morale at Proofpoint go from 10 to 0 quickly. But what do you expect when the CEO states in every meeting, “If you don’t like it here find another place to work”. Also, stop the lies you know very well there be another mass layoff because you have stated that to your leaders. Quality and values is no longer the theme at Proofpoint. It is all about money for these two and their TB bosses.

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.
