Proofpoint reviews

Management is an absolute nightmare. If you're an engineer, I highly recommend running for the hills from this place. It's where dreams go to die. They will undervalue you and treat you like garbage. HR at this company will not assist you, and will actively try to push you out the door if you express any problems. Significant pay raise and quality of life increase after leaving this company for me. Proofpoint simply does not value retaining talent or encouraging skill growth. They will not assist with any training. Empty promises typically. Management will actively use anything you express as negative, against you. They'll utilize HR to pressure and manipulate your actions. This place is hands down the worst place I've ever worked at in my career.

It was difficult to outbound into new prospects because they either had a solution they were happy with or would have a project already on the table (which we were usually considered). No focus on quota attainment (and very few actually hit quota). All they cared about was if you hit your "commit" number but that doesn't help your commission check to have lower goals than your quota
