Pros: Proofpoint has a strong engineering culture with talented and supportive colleagues. The work is meaningful, and there’s plenty of opportunity to learn and grow. Leadership is approachable, and the company values both innovation and work-life balance.

Cons: Things can move fast, and priorities shift sometimes, which can be a bit overwhelming. But it’s part of working in a dynamic environment, and there’s always support from the team.

Pros: None. Avoid like the plague. Sell if you own.

Cons: 1. There are regular layoffs. 2. There is 'Competitive pay' that isn't. 3. There are pathetic equity rewards. 4. Even hired as remote, if you live within 25 miles of an office, you will have to go in to the office 3x a week. 5. There is C-suite turnover. 6. It is meeting hell. Do you like to hear quarterly sales meetings? Live and die for the run to IPO. This is the company for you. 7. There is unclear direction, hellish duplication of code and responsibilities as Proofpoint tries to acquire its way to relevance. 8. They WILL fire/lay you off after FMLA. It happened to me. One month after returning from FMLA, I was laid off. 9. They talk a good line about work life balance but will make you show at 4 am on a Saturday for a release. 10. The interview process contains no actual filtering for talent or ability and managers give no poor feedback. So everything is fine until you get laid off.

Pros: The work we do here is very exciting and interesting and in par with the current changing and trending technologies.

Cons: There are not too many benefits, and there is no 401K match. Benefits and leave policies are not that great.
