Pros

The products are rather advanced compared to the industry, otherwise not many pros to mention. The sales compensation plan as well as the benefits in the UK are rather average.

Cons

They try to match almost every salary expectations because nobody is interested in a career with them. In the beginning they blind new employees with nice trips to the US but often unhelpful training and then let them work totally unsupported. Support from 1st. line management is mostly non-existent, even for important sales related decisions. There is no culture, other than bullying, back-stabbing and hostility in the Reading office. In general the work-environment is rather ridiculous and anything else but professional. The Reading UK office is also based in a business park which is rather hard to reach, often clogged with traffic jams or unreliable public transport.

Pros

Great Product, truly best in breed. Great vacation policy...

Cons

Proofpoint does not take care of its employees AT ALL. No 401K match, no in office perks, no team activities, poor office culture. Proofpoint has lost most of its top performers and managers to other local tech companies. There is an extremely high turnover in sales. If you have been here for over a year you are considered a veteran. Most people leave within 6 months. The top performers seem to quit and move on because Proofpoint refuses to give pay raises. The average deal cycle is well over 200 days, don't be fooled when they tell you 90 days in your interview.
