Proofpoint Reviews

Pros

Great people to work with
Interesting problem space with lots of room to innovate and improve
Good work environment
You get to work on something that keeps people and organizations safe!

Pros

As a whole the engineering team is making a lot of moves to upgrade the stack and methodologies, which provides a lot of opportunity for new thought and experimentation. Freedom to make decisions and innovate is, personally, the best benefit here.

That being said: A generous vacation policy (no formal cap), ESPP, 401k match, and good insurance all round out the benefits and make working at this stable company very nice.

Advice to Management

Release the purse strings a bit! Open up some more training budget to help educate, and reward, engineers by allowing more people to go to conferences.

Pros

Never a dull day - the work is varied, challenging, interesting and highly relevant. The opportunities to innovate, learn and grow are tremendous. Great, smart people - high-performing company.

Advice to Management

Connect the planning dots more: the bigger the numbers, the more disciplined we need to be. (I would say "hire well and fast", but you already know that!)

Pros

Good Product but very competetive

Advice to Management

Hire better managers, and support the sales teams.

Pros

Vision - People Centric Security is a game change. Proofpoint is defining this market and will lead for years to come

Continue your focus on what matters - people, product and innovation. Attract top talent and the rest will follow.

Advice to Management

listen you your employees

Pros

Not many Pro’s at this place, which has led to massive turn over. Recent bogus reviews from low-level employees are especially humorous on Glassdoor.com.

Advice to Management

Management is aware of all of these issues. This is how they choose to run the company.

Pros

Amazing products and customers, genuinely meaningful work stopping cyber attacks every day means there's a mission to believe in beyond showing up and collecting a paycheck. Nice people overall in most departments.

Advice to Management

Emphasize how important the work we do is every day for our customers. Invest more in employee experience - a few little things would go a long way.

Pros

Stock is doing well
Nice people to work with
Flexible time off
Great work life balance
HR really tries to do their best with the small budget that they are allocated
Good legal team
Company has taken a lot of steps towards equal pay, anti discrimination & harassment training.

Advice to Management

Be a little nicer to your employees. If you continue trying to cut costs at this rate you will lose high performing team members.
