Pros
Use to be a great place to work. Good people, and an amazing place to work. As an employee, you felt as though you worked for a place that truely cared about their employees. Employees wellbeing was prioirty with the leaders. That has all changed. Proofpoint is unrecognizable.
Cons
There is a new regime and a ruthless, cold CEO who is full of lies. The day Sumit started his reign of terror at Proofpoint, he stated that he was responsible for all emoloyees and their families, and he took that seriously. What happened Sumit ? You should not make such a strong statement and then do the opposite. I understand you are a puppet; but you are the CEO, and you should be careful with the false advertisements. You have no problem instilling fear into your leaders and emoloyees. Nor do you care about destroying the lives of your employees and their families. The layoffs were so horrific. Sumit sends an email notification that there will be a reduction in the workforce. This email notification was sent 48 hour prior to the actually layoffs taking place. This created an insane amount of panic throughout the employment poplulation. The layoffs were handled so poorly that they left the affacted employees feeling degraded, humilated and helpless. Most of the staff who conducted the layoffs were cruel, cold and stuck to a dialogue. There was no empathy, compassion or thanks for all the years of service. This place is unrecognizable.
