Pros

I was able to learn about how the COMPETITION exceeds industry knowledge and vision.

Cons

Revolving leadership (new VP sales each year), revolving employees (sales and SE's) and executives. No real security knowledge nor respect towards partners. They are trying to increase addressable market with solutions instead of investing in current solutions and internal talent. Comp plan is the worst in the industry while leadership takes deals to be paid as reps.

I'm not sure you are an actual employee - maybe this is a competitor doing an anonymous posting? Let's see - our head of sales Lane Bess has been with the company for four years. Our head of channel sales has been with us for 5 years. Our head of EMEA sales for close to three years. The sales execs with the shortest tenure are our head of Americas, who has been here just over a year, and our brand new VP of sales ops who just came over from VMWare. So I don't know why you say there is revolving leadership in sales - this doesn't match the facts. I also think your statement about "worst comp plan" and "leaders taking down deals" is also not a match for what is really going on. I feel like my job is to tee up deals for our sales reps - not take them away. That would be silly and counterproductive. I would certainly never recommend that a prospective client does not need AV - this is a silly thing to say - Zscaler sees traffic as it transits the Internet - so we don't see things like a USB stick getting plugged into a laptop - so you for sure still need endpoint security. Now I would for sure argue that AV is barely effective anymore - but that is a whole different discussion. And i don't know why you say Zscaler does not do deep packet inspection - we do... So it's very hard to tell if you ever were actually an employee, or this poster is from a competitor. Glass Door badly needs to figure out how to authenticate people...

Pros

The pay and ESOP is good

Cons

Toxic management structure. Unnecessary archaic practices. Employee feedback is not at all considered by the upper management. If you get a bad manager, there is nothing more you can do.
