Pros

Zscaler offers ambitious, creative individuals the opportunity to be part of history in driving the company's disruptive direct-to-cloud network to overtake the stale, appliance-based model that dominates today's enterprise security space. In just 5 years, Zscaler has achieved a $1B+ evaluation, leader status in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways, an enviable Fortune 500 customer base and a patent portfolio that will keep it in the innovation driver's seat for years to come. At Zscaler you are given the resources and the opportunity that any self-starter would kill for. Work hard, contribute to the culture and enjoy the ride. This company will IPO in less than 18-24 months and since there is very little dilution, employee stakeholders won't get screwed post IPO like they do at so many other companies.

Cons

Senior management has a low threshold for incompetence. Don't come to work here unless you want to kick ass and be the best at what you do. Low-achievers and slackers need not apply.

Pros

Redefining enterprise technology and network optimization with Direct-to-Cloud Network. Company is well-positioned for success in the robust security market. Experienced management team remains accessible to advise employee growth. Strong sense of camaraderie includes ice cream parties, BBQs, wine-tasting events and bake-off contests. Free catered lunch every Thursday and plenty of drinks and snacks.

Cons

CEO Jay Chaudhry has a reputation for frugality, but has the best interests of the company at heart and is willing to invest in justified expenses. Like any large or growing organization, strategic initiatives can quickly rise and fall, depending on any number of extenuating circumstances, which can give the illusion of chaos, but at the highest level that strategy is well-defined and well-executed.
