Pros: It was a good learning experience with nice people.

Cons: The metrics for the full-time offer were not clear.

Pros: Solid pay, flexible hours/vacation, a lot of stock options

Cons: They have very limited 401k options.

Pros: There are no pros to speak of.

Cons: Management is not interested in developer experience at all. They are obsessed with going "All In" on AI instead. They are not interested in developing their talent, or doing anything for them. They view engineers as widgets to be shifted about, interchanged, and made to do whatever they wish, without the widget's input. The AI psychosis is very real with them. The culture was definitely broken before the advent of LLMs, and there were severe deficiencies, but management apparently believes that Proofpoint's cultural and structural deficiencies can merely be remedied by using enough chatbots. And if that didn't work, use more of them, harder. They claim to be a human-centric cybersecurity company, but that is belied by their behavior. Stay away. Stay far, far, away.
