      Pros

      I like the product and so do the customers. The non-manager employees are smart and easy to engage with. Good IPO of course but that is over. Definitely will learn from your job and work experience.

      Cons

      Middle management that is horrible to work for or with. Lack of understanding with some customers and the way they do business. Overly focused and driven by sales. Multiple times I had customers tell me that "Palo Alto is arrogant and while they have one of the best products now that will not always be the case". Believe customers will leave when market catches up. Spends ridiculous amount of money on events titled "training" or "SKO" then requires employees (non-managers) to share rooms. This is counter intuitive and speaks to management decisions.

      Pros

      Largest cyber security company in the world with an ever-expanding portfolio

      Cons

      Largest cyber security company in the world with an ever-expanding portfolio. They buy companies quicker than they can integrate them and is the antithesis of a caring employer. Nikesh could layoff 80% of employees tomorrow and the stock would still skyrocket. I decided to pursue a new opportunity after CyberArk was acquired and prior to giving my official two week notice I let my team know, and started training them in our brand new cutting edge solutions so that they could take over my workload without any roadblocks or hiccups. As soon as I put in my two week notice the company locks me out and cuts off all of my benefits and does not pay me for the notice that I have given, putting my family in a very precarious place during the interim of my work. This is by far one of the most classless things I’ve seen a company do, please watch out for yourself at Palo because no one in management will. I am extremely passionate about the space that I operate in and often found myself working 12 hour days- the ability to have work life balance at a place like Palo Alto is zero.
