Pros

Proofpoint has a strong engineering culture with talented and supportive colleagues. The work is meaningful, and there’s plenty of opportunity to learn and grow. Leadership is approachable, and the company values both innovation and work-life balance.

Cons

Things can move fast, and priorities shift sometimes, which can be a bit overwhelming. But it’s part of working in a dynamic environment, and there’s always support from the team.

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.
