Pros: Good pay with flexwork reimbursement, ~$1500 during COVID-19. Stocks are growing, all-time high. Visionary CEO with a strong market presence. 15% ESPP investment option.

Cons: Lot of cons, let me add a few: * Mediocre leadership in Prisma Cloud, who get recognition because of an incredible pool of engineers. * Most engineering managers should get a role change to people managers because they have technical debt and can’t lead engineering initiatives. * Favouritism and politics are rampant, which spoils the team culture. * Very high attrition rate; good employees are leaving within a year or two because they are unheard due to the favouritism of old Redlock employees. * Management expectations: QA/Perf/DevOps are supposed to be available from 8 am to 11 pm. Join Palo Alto only if you have no other job options matching similar compensation.

Pros: The required people are ninjas.

Cons: The company doesn't really pamper the employees much.

Pros: Growing company with more than average compensation. The company continuously tries to evolve/pivot for greater growth, and it's paying off.

Cons: Work-life balance is not so great. With forever changing requirements and unreasonable deadlines, it can get really stressful. Be ready to be micromanaged and put on the spot for the minutest of errors. Management seems aware of this, but that's how the expectation is set throughout the company.
