      Pros

      The company's products are one of the best out there in terms of industry standards.

      Cons

      Internally it's a mess. I think almost 3/4 of the company is filled with people less than 2 years at the company and the company is growing but also losing people fast. we're crowded and we're supposed to move. Management is a mixed bag with people who don't have the proper skills to lead. They manage product or tactical timelines but have no idea how to lead. Leadership team is not engaging and there's been some movements as well. ego and knowledge hoarders get in the way of deadlines. We're constantly asked for referrals and I think recruiting and HR is quite silly. They don't even know their own company products which is bizarre. Company culture is weird. a lot of people coming over from past colleagues from other competitors so not much of change.

      Pros

      Great Technology, Great Industry, and Security Ranking

      Cons

      THERE IS A REASON PEOPLE DONT STAY HERE MORE THAN 1.5 YEARS! At Draper they have had over 17 people quit in the past year of the sales team of 22!!! Retention and internal politics! They are way under paid for market value! Proofpoint screws people over on commission and managers don't care about ethics and what's best for the customers. They are only in it for money and will yell in your face and put you down even if you are a consistent top producer! CEO claims that he has a zero tolerance for dishonesty then the guys that are making bank because they are stealing opportunities get promoted! Benefits SUCK! No matching 401K I was asking about it for over a year and they kept saying it will come.. never does. You have to go hunt and kill your accounts then reassign territories and screw all your work over. They say you have unlimited amount of approved time off but thats only up to your manager I was told I already took 7 days off for the year I couldn't have any more and I was a top producer! NOT WORK FOR PROOFPOINT! It really shows what kind of company it is when people put fake reviews in for Glass Door because VPs and C level executives are worried about the truth coming out!
