Palo Alto Networks

A wealth of talent in all areas. Collaboration is rich. Flexibility to grow however you want. Ideal diversity, inclusion, culture, and corporate integrity.

Truly visionary CEO with a grounded and pragmatic approach toward growing the products and business.

There is a sense that even though PAN is a clear market leader, we are still at the ground floor. The security is real; I can't say the same for many other vendors. Supposed product shortcomings are exaggerated and often outright lies. Throughout my journey, I have seen no deviation from the stated objective of being the security partner of choice at all layers at any organization.

I have seen nothing uniquely or excessively negative. Every large org will have imperfections; there's nothing really concerning, though.

At worst, I would say that the benefits could be better, but in fairness, the secondary comp and mobility potential is excellent, which completely obscures any heartburn that would ordinarily occur.

There is probably more middle management than necessary in some areas, but the environment is not stifled with bureaucracy.

I don't pretend to know how to resolve this, but I have seen very talented and effective people walk out in the past year. I am sure this is already an area of focus, but I hope we make some strides in reducing this.
