    I worked at Zscaler full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    Good co-workers, free snacks, free lunch on Thursdays , decent health care

    Cons

    No training, no work life balance, low pay. Promotion path is promised before starting but there is no real chance of getting a promotion here.

    Advice to Management

    Train new employees, don't just throw them on the phones when they don't even know how to cold call or know the product.

    Pros

    Technology works as advertised and Zscaler appears to be well ahead of competitors. Process oriented company culture natively provides guidance and helpful information. Onboarding process for new Sales Engineers is well thought out and ensures field readiness. Expect to do alot of work and training but the effort pays off in confidence and knowledge. Mentorship program is excellent.

    Cons

    Not seeing any right now. Work hard and realize success.

    I have been working at Zscaler full-time for less than a year

    Pros

    1. The onboarding process is phenomenal. 2. The welcoming culture of inclusiveness makes on feel at home right from day 1. 3. There isn't a competitive mindset amongst us, various teams, and departments which solidify a collective approach in resolving issues, coming up with ideas and most importantly providing the best customer experience. 4. No barriers on who you can reach out to because the management... hierarchy walls don't exist within Zscaler. This is attributed to the open culture which has been cultivated over time.

    Cons

    1. As a growing organization, there are growing pains that arise from time to time. This is expected and as such not so much of a con. 2. So much to learn and understand.

    Advice to Management

    Keep up with the good work

    I have been working at Zscaler full-time for more than a year

    Pros

    I started to work at Zscaler as Intern and then got a full-time offer. It's been more than a year at Zscaler and every day I keep learning new things. A lot of learning opportunities and a really great set of people to work with. I have enjoyed working at Zscaler and I am sure it will be the same in the future.

    Cons

    As a part of the development team, they stopped giving work-from-home. I think they should really care about work and allow work from home.

    Advice to Management

    If they can provide lunch every day, it would save a lot of time for all the employees.

    I have been working at Zscaler full-time for more than a year

    Pros

    The company has two market leading and amazing products that secure users access private and public Internet applications. There is huge value in customers adopting the pair of products. The Product Management PM team is second to none in understanding the problem of connecting globally distributed users to globally distributed applications. The culture is one of integrity, frugality, hard work, and fun which... match to my own values.

    Cons

    I really have to think hard on cons. I do see some hints of focusing on the process over outcome starting to crop up with growth but minimally. The processes have good intentions but perhaps not a direct measure of outcomes.

    Advice to Management

    Hire good people. Keep the focus on customer and outcomes and avoid enforcing undue process.
