Proofpoint reviews

People write reviews on Glassdoor for a reason so anyone looking for a job/position with this company should take the "cons" seriously. This company does not care about it's employees. All Exec "leadership" and CFO care about is keeping investors happy and this causes the very high turn over rate in the sales organization. They cut territories up so small that it makes it extremely difficult to hit/exceed your quota. Management will make changes in the middle of the quarter or the year with out advanced warning and this screws so many things up. When employees ask about it, we always get the answer that "this is a growing company - deal with it." This affects the company culture and moral. People complain and it makes for a negative working atmosphere. The mid-enterprise segment get's lost and forgotten about. All the EVP of sales cares about his her Enterprise and Named Account teams as they bring in the biggest deals. Think twice before applying with this company. No incentive money in sales - Really?? Executive's act like they care, but never do anything to change what employees are telling them. CFO is a tigh wad Hardly any leaders, only managers who have gotten promoted for being high achievers.

Middle management is a complete joke! I read reviews before accepting the position and saw a lot about growing pains, and yes there are definite growing pains, as in the rapid growth/acquisitions of other companies is not handled well at all. I have been throw growing pains with a company before, but nothing ever like this! They are not at all flexible and suggestions for improvement of processes or implementation of better process were not welcomed at all. I have never been treated so poorly in any job I have ever had by so many people, in particular my own manager. All the mid-level managers I dealt with had a chip on their shoulders and were impossible to talk to.
