Palo Alto Networks

Nada, join at your own risk.

I've never written a Glassdoor review, but feel very compelled to warn candidates about the worst experience of my professional career.

If it was something personal, or something that was isolated, I wouldn't write this review, but my warning is about systemic problems within the company. This is the reason why many people left or will soon stop working here (retention rate is very low).

You're likely here because you either read about Palo Alto Networks, or someone from the company HR department reached you about the "opportunity" to join this "amazing" and "exciting" company with its "shining" office and all the buzz around it. They excited you with the prospect of compensation, being a cyber company, and being the "#1 vendor".

It sounds too good to be true, right? You'll get to realize very soon the real truth that happens after you become an employee of this horrible workplace.

• The culture in this company is horrible and toxic.
• Communication between departments, especially between HQ and other sites, is non-existent.
• Bad culture of bringing people down.
• Horrible team dynamics; too much politics.
• High levels of stress, no work-life balance. You will also need to join several Zoom sessions each week on stuff that really doesn't either matter or isn't needed.
• This place is hiring aggressively for a reason, and most hiring managers will try to sell you on promises of an "one-time opportunity." Don't believe them.
• Dishonest, backstabbing, gaslighting environment.
• Micromanaging culture.

Don't sell lies to employees.

Fire your managers and hire managers that have management skills.

Stop changing your decisions (on any matter!) every two weeks.

To summarize, treat your employees as humans, not as slaves.
