Pros

Great Technology, Great Industry, and Security Ranking

Cons

THERE IS A REASON PEOPLE DONT STAY HERE MORE THAN 1.5 YEARS! At Draper they have had over 17 people quit in the past year of the sales team of 22!!! Retention and internal politics! They are way under paid for market value! Proofpoint screws people over on commission and managers don't care about ethics and what's best for the customers. They are only in it for money and will yell in your face and put you down even if you are a consistent top producer! CEO claims that he has a zero tolerance for dishonesty then the guys that are making bank because they are stealing opportunities get promoted! Benefits SUCK! No matching 401K I was asking about it for over a year and they kept saying it will come.. never does. You have to go hunt and kill your accounts then reassign territories and screw all your work over. They say you have unlimited amount of approved time off but thats only up to your manager I was told I already took 7 days off for the year I couldn't have any more and I was a top producer! NOT WORK FOR PROOFPOINT! It really shows what kind of company it is when people put fake reviews in for Glass Door because VPs and C level executives are worried about the truth coming out!

Pros

Proofpoint delivers data protection solutions that are best in class. Customers are happy and we have high customer retention rates. I love going into an eval with prospects because I can trust that our product does what we say it can do and far better than our competitors. Our support team is great and customers are happy, expect for the price they have to pay! I love the culture so far and enjoy working here.

Cons

Our price is way higher than our competition which can be a challenge. I think our building is basic and doesn't offer many frills you'll see with some companies in town. The pay scale is less competitive but Quota's are more attainable. That said you have to crush it to make up the difference.
