Palo Alto Networks

• Fast-moving and driven teams striving to innovate and dominate the cybersecurity market.
• High learning curve for ICs and management.
• Company is in a high-growth state and has great future prospects.
• Culture of ownership.

Most of the cons are natural side-effects of the company growing extremely fast:

• Constant changes in strategy are needed at all levels to absorb the impact of changing priorities and new decisions as new data presents itself.
• It sometimes gets hard to get a feeling of stability with the growing responsibilities at all levels.
• If very thorough prioritization and planning are not in place on a personal level, work/life balance can sometimes become challenging.

The need of the hour is to move fast within the cybersecurity business. The management is doing a great job at keeping up the pace and aligning each team with that goal.
