Pros

Not many Pro’s at this place, which has led to massive turn over. Recent bogus reviews from low-level employees are especially humorous on Glassdoor.com.

Cons

Leadership notoriously makes bad decisions and employment promises to new hires to lure them on board. Once on board the promises melt away. Management is expert at tuning out and blaming field sales. The party rages on for a select few.

Pros

I really wanted to add some positives here.. but i cannot think good snacks, 401k, gym, cafeteria ... or anything like that qualify for proofpoint .. nada... sorry!

Cons

In spite of being there for 2 years and more, I did not feel that I was learning much in my job. Management was always busy finding fault rather than working hard and putting in their time and effort to make things better. One of my friends went to HR for help and came back saying that it might have been more useful to talk to a rock instead.

Pros

Security is a hot sector. Some of the people are nice.

Cons

Exec team is not helpful to staff. CFO runs the company and the most exciting statistic the HR team shares with the staff about the CEO in new hire orientation is that Gary drinks over 5000 diet sodas each year. Product is good but very expensive, new products are more hype than real.
