Pros
-Technology is great, probably the best in that space -Jay truly cares about taking this company IPO -Some of the best colleagues I have ever met -New office is a great upgrade from the original office (location could still be better though) - Most departments are run well and are well represented with senior management, that cannot be said for mktg and comms though -Free lunch every Thursday
Cons
-Culture is lacking. HR is trying to fix it, but with how the company is run morale and culture are very low -IPO is no longer discussed, and with the CFO leaving there doesn't seem to be a road map -Mktg/comms: If you are thinking of working at Zscaler in either of these teams, run. Each CMO has about a 2 year stint and is then replaced, and this has been consistent for the past several years. Current CMO micromanages people to make them feel inferior and like they are entry level employees, rather than individuals that are seasoned in this industry. CMO is more interested in keeping tabs on when you are coming/leaving/taking lunch/ working remote than your quality work and what you are getting accomplished. The current CMO has created an environment where it is impossible to please him, and the company has lost a lot of great talent because of him. -Office is an upgrade from previous location, but it is basically still in Alviso. Not much around it, and is not in the right location. If you want to be in Silicon Valley, but in the heart of the Valley -Compensation and benefits are not competitive in the industry, getting a raise is very difficult. No matching 401K, no paid maternity leave, health insurance is okay. No "perks" in the office except for free snacks and drinks, which are rationed so they don't have to buy as many.
