Disconnected and Underwhelming Leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Some nice people. Good technology. Good technical training.

Cons

Out of touch leadership seems more concerned with their optics and very top-down approach. Newer leadership seems to not have the relevant experience or background required for their roles in some cases. Out of date tactics to get results but not interested in listening to what their teams need to be successful. Very segmented, silo'd and so many people doing the job of what is just part of other people jobs elsewhere but slower and less effective results.

Pros

Proofpoint is a great cybersecurity company with a diverse range of products, continuously enhanced by the latest technologies. It offers an excellent learning environment for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of cybersecurity, particularly in email security and information protection. While the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming, it presents an exciting challenge and a valuable opportunity to gain expertise across various cybersecurity domains. The work culture is highly supportive, with great colleagues who foster collaboration and teamwork.

Cons

One area for improvement would be extending HQ-level support to other regions to ensure consistency across teams. Additionally, structured training programs should be implemented and tracked to encourage participation and help employees strengthen their knowledge and skill sets effectively.

Pros

Cybersecurity is cool, our Threat research is great and I wish we could brag about it more. Most of the team is nice and fun to work with. There is potential if you have a good patch.

Cons

I feel like if you get in the wrong segment here, its terrible. Training for my segment is an after thought, so not much help, and we are too expensive for most to want to change. Almost no reps are hitting quote. Those that are never make any cold calls, so it seems like management is just handing the star reps their leads.
