Palo Alto Networks

I think the company has good potential for growth, and there are still some good people around. Plus, if you are interested in the cybersecurity space, it's a good learning experience.

The culture, at least in the net sec group, has gone downhill rapidly. The huge influx of former Cisco folks who have brought their culture here has caused many of the long-time employees to leave.

There is no culture of collaboration anymore, just politics. No focus on customer needs, just shipping something low quality to get a good review and promotion and maybe leave.

Work-life balance is gone, as low-quality deliverables lead to fire-fighting all the time instead of proper engineering and planning.

The culture is gone during massive growth, and HR is not doing anything about it. It's a shame. They need to fight this toxic culture.
