Imperva Management FAQ

Pros

I have been with Imperva for 4 years and in that time have seen a lot of change. We had a CEO change, major reorganizations, entirely new Sr. Management, went from public to private, lots of departures, 2 acquisitions, and most recently a security incident which is the worst thing that can happen to a Cyber Security company such as us. I'm not going to lie, some of the changes I didn't agree with and did not sit well with me. Change is hard. What kept me around was the people who also stayed and because I believed in the company and the mission. I also wanted to see what was going to be on the other side of that change because I felt that it could be great once all the dust settled. This most recent security incident has truly shown me what kind of company, management and culture we have at Imperva. It has demonstrated Imperva's commitment to its shareholder, customers and most importantly its employees. Sometimes it takes a crisis to bring a family together and for the culture to really come through and that is what happened. I am very proud to be an Impervian and I believe that anyone who joins this company and embraces our culture and mission will feel the same way. People committed to the mission, the culture and values that we all share and to working together seamlessly especially in times of crisis.

Cons

We expect a lot from our employees both in terms of quality of work and integrity. You will work hard here but you will be supported very well.

Advice to Management

Change has been hard. Stay the course, the benefits of all those changes are beginning to pay off and show.

Pros

Leadership is new, but they get it and are focused on growing the company. Imperva is very generous with their vacation time, benefits are great and the work is rewarding. I really do love my job there.

Cons

In some areas of the organization it's hard to grow. There is not a career path from some roles within the org. Now, some places are building that out, but when I asked about my role, my manager said "We haven't built out your role yet, probably next year".
