Good Products, Poorly Run Company

Pros

Proofpoint has a good story and good stock rewards because the stock price is high.

Cons

How you are treated/environment depends on which group you work in and which location. There is a lot of sexism and fear, which causes people to not always work well in supporting co-workers. Environment can be very political and territorial. There are a lot of agendas and bad behavior in upper/middle management. For group events, employees have to pay for everything. There's not even a small budget allowed for going away parties or to celebrate promotions. Almost half the company has not had a 1 year anniversary. You’re either a lifer or you don’t last very long.

Pros

Proofpoint has great products, good pay and excellent stock. Most employees are collaborative and solutions oriented. Flexible work schedules and freedom to work from home.

Cons

Sexism, abusive behavior and incompetence are tolerated - especially in employees who were with the company pre-IPO. There is a lot of in-fighting and agendas in upper management that is not addressed or resolved. No 401K matching. Company is very no frills with spending and office environment.
