Pros

Decent Pay Good coworkers Good direct management Some decent benefits (but probably won't last)

Cons

Until a couple of months ago I'd have had very little to put here, but the Thoma Bravo has decided at last that it's time to throw their weight around. They ousted the old executive staff that built the company into what it is and brought in their own hatchet man with a "suck it up or leave" attitude. Forced return to office after almost 4 years of full flexibility. Not willing to listen to concerns as his loyalty is not to the employees but to generate short term profits for Thoma Bravo. Whether Proofpoint sinks after it's sold is not their concern. I would not advise anyone to join the company at this stage if they have any other prospects as even the staff currently here are either looking out or half expecting to be laid off to give the company finances a quick boost before sale.

Pros

Free food 4 days per week

Cons

No matter what the company boasts in its award chest there is no culture other than every man for himself. Entitled, life owes me employees with weak unfocused leadership intent on nothing more than an ego trip - promoting those that tow the line rather than the deserving - I’m outa here
