Pros

An innovative approach to security. There are a few very smart directors and vice presidents that have learned to navigate the minefield of Zscaler politics.

Cons

Horrible culture, driven by politics and back-biting. Petulant CEO has no respect for anyone and serves as a huge bottle neck (supreme micro-manager; won't approve projects; won't approve expenses; schedules impromptu meetings at 5:30pm or on Saturdays). Marketing & HR "coax" new employees to write five-star reviews. Don't believe these reviews; working for Zscaler is a miserable experience.

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.
