The CEO is a Thoma Bravo "yes man" who does their bidding. He has no real values. He rage quit a town hall meeting when people started asking questions about how return to office has improved productivity. He parks his G Wagon in the visitor parking spots (if/when he comes in to office).
The CPO doesn't come into the office. After a big push for people to return to office (including firing people who spoke out against it), she gets to work from home.
Thoma Bravo is in trouble right now for not delivering returns for investors. Orlando Bravo also needs to pay for his mansion in Miami Beach. He's got bills to pay!
Proofpoint borrowed a bunch of money to pay everyone $5 per share on our incentive units because we aren't returning the value we promised. They hand out incentive units like they are rare, made of platinum, and HIGHLY valued. But they are only worth about $8-10 per unit after the "strike price" hits (if what management said is true... and we go public...). If you are terminated, regardless of cause, they will "buy back" your incentive units at $0. Regardless if they have vested or not.
When we were public, RSUs were handed out much more freely and with a much higher, clearer value.
Upper management fired all of the smart people who kept things running smoothly. The new CTO doesn't focus on day to day activities, which leads to problems. We've had MANY outages since he was hired and development was moved overseas. Support is in the toilet after similar moves as well. He also has this infatuation with the founder of Apple. His profile picture looks like he had ChatGPT make him look very "jobby"
Benefits were announced recently with no improvements. The 401k is the most discussed "benefit" we have, and nothing has been done to increase the match or the yearly amount.
