Palo Alto Networks

Salary: Above average market rate. Wonderful coworkers: Super collaborative.

Management - Very manipulative.

Work-life balance - Extreme long hours and tons of random fire drills that will consume a healthy lifestyle.

I have given my heart and soul to this workplace and worked myself for long hours to death to help management achieve their goals. Management didn't recognize how much work it took with limited manpower, was always running blind at an unreasonably fast pace, and was careless about quality in production. They refused to open to suggestions, foster fair respect and harmony in the team, work on solving the problems, and improve the process as well as the team structure. In the end, I'm wounded and do not believe in the extreme profit-driven mentality of such an organization. This is the same feedback I will give on my exit review.
