Market leader with culture challenges
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Santa Clara, California, United States
May 17, 2023
Pros: The company has effectively moved to the cloud and has top leadership that gets the market and how to kill it with sales.
Company values make sense, and the ability to recognize peers for these values is such a boost.
Cons: Each transition in the company has been accompanied by RIFs.
Despite being a company that expects to grow to $100B in market cap, it has inner politics that keep productive employees from doing their best work.
Be aware there is more on the horizon to comparatively measure and micromanage people out.
Also, the Panorama product and VM firewall have serious scaling issues that will probably never get fixed. Customers are working around these in ways that reduce the need to continue using Palo Alto Networks products.
