Pros

The company is doing well and growing year on year so it really is a fantastic time to join! Proofpoint are committed to protecting the way people work today across most channels (social, mobile, endpoint) so great business focus and a force to be reckoned with in the security market.

Cons

This is a fast-paced work environment, which is exhilarating but definitely not for the faint-hearted. You need to be prepared to think outside the box, be proactive and self-motivated and you'll be just fine.

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.
