Too Much Turnover

Pros

It's a cool product to sell and there are no capped commissions

Cons

There is too much turnover. Just in the last 6 months 20+ people have left. I think it has something to do with management and no real possibility of upward movement within the company.

Good Culture, bad management

Pros

Friendly helpful people can be found from outside of your organization.

Cons

Staffing and HR don't talk to one another while they are supposed to be one team. Unless you are chummy with the mgr. don't expect to move anywhere. The team is very clicky and staffing is a revolving door where the good people leave while the bad people are still there. Some people are converted after only being there for a few months while others work for years before they are converted. Their reasoning is over the top ridiculous because they don't want you to leave. Upper management doesn't care about the well being of the team.

This is an exciting time to join

Pros

The company is doing well and growing year on year so it really is a fantastic time to join! Proofpoint are committed to protecting the way people work today across most channels (social, mobile, endpoint) so great business focus and a force to be reckoned with in the security market.

Cons

This is a fast-paced work environment, which is exhilarating but definitely not for the faint-hearted. You need to be prepared to think outside the box, be proactive and self-motivated and you'll be just fine.
