Pros

great co-workers, we all trauma bonded together over the pure chaos of this place. the benefits and stock are great as well but not worth the therapy bills! stay away!

Cons

the turnover is insane. i know people, myself include that had over 8-10 managers over a few years. no one is happy. everyone is over worked, and wins are not celebrated. it is all about management and the leadership just cares about making as much money as possible at all costs. they put people in 'people management' positions that should have NEVER been managers and is the definition of a political environment. they had / have multiple abusive managers and it was documented and HR did nothing. they do not care about you as a human - you are a number to them. if you only care about making a lot of money but have 0 WLB and insane, abusive managers this place is for you! if not, STAY THE HELL AWAY.

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.
