Bring your whole self to work
Bring your whole self to work
After we were acquired by Proofpoint, I was worried we were going to leave a lot of our values behind and move into a corporate, soulless environment that puts people last and money first. I've been pleasantly surprised this has not been the case. There is a very strong incentive to make profits but the human centric part of the company still remains front and center. The people I work with are friendly, helpful and genuine and the opportunities for growth are plentiful and easily accessible.
The cons I've experienced are not unique to PP and are prevalent in most companies of this size, but it's related to requirements changing suddenly and not being communicated top down effectively. This means we can find ourselves jumping from feature to feature without completing everything we had in mind for the previous feature.
We need better focus and communication about features and requirements.

Applied for a new grad position. First talked with an engineering leader who liked me and liked what I had to say, so I moved on to the next round, which was a take home programming question, and then they expand upon that in the form of phone call.
