I have been here for only few weeks and it has been great so far

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Truly amazing! This is one of the best companies I've worked for in my career. The mission, values and leadership team makes this a place that is truly unmatched in the industry.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 10 days ago

I've grown here and I'm grateful for the flexibility and opportunity. But consistent praise without compensation is not sustainable. I deserve — we all do — leaders who fight for us in rooms we aren't in. Advocacy and action retain people. Words alone do

Review from HR Dept · Posted 16 days ago

My time at Proofpoint has been the best experience of my whole career. The ability to take big swings with confidence that I have the backing and support of my direct manager and wider management team has allowed me to grow tremendously in my time here.

She is very nice and approachable

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

They empower employees to be innovators, visionaries and provide autonomy to bring great things to life without creating to many barriers.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Their open and candid attitude to communication.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 17 days ago

I have joined 4 weeks ago and still understanding the teams and organization.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Individual contributors are over-capacity and underleveraged. Penalizing requests for help and rewarding strong performance with more work creates burnout, not results. My feedback is that equitable workload distribution is critical to achieving the quality and speed leadership expects and values.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 16 days ago

Leadership calls and townhalls with executives used to cover exciting innovations and why employees should be excited about the future of the company.. now everytime the Ceo and c suite hold meetings we all hold our breathe waiting to hear about culture impacting decisions.

Review from Sales Dept

Compassion and empathy for your employees

Review from Finance Dept

One of our culture tenents is "Teamwork". Sadly, executives believe this is only appropriate for fire fighting and teams are strongly encouraged to work independently rather than collaboratively, which means lots of re-inventing the wheel (often poorly) and poor communication.

i appreciate the fact that we receive shares in the company

My salary, bonus and flexible PTO package

Review from HR Dept · Posted 10 days ago

The relatively high base salary, RSUs/stock options are a fine incentive but salary is reliable and consistent and Proofpoint offers great base salaries.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 17 days ago

Competitive salary and EARs as long term incentives

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Bonus and pre-IPO stock grants

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Increase my salary to be equal to my coworkers

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Despite consistent above-expectation reviews and embodying our core values, I remain the least compensated. I've absorbed teammates' workloads without recognition or pay. Being praised but underpaid isn't sustainable and it contradicts the culture we claim to build.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 16 days ago

an increase in my salary.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Increase bonus for leaders here.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

I feel undervalued as my role has expanded beyond scope and I often cover gaps left by others without added recognition or pay. Compensation seems tied to experience, though role expectations remain the same. I’d value pay aligned

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

i have had the chance to work with some very talented people, approachable, hard working and trustworthy.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 4 days ago

The team is very collaborative

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

The different perspectives from all backgrounds.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Our team's strength lies in mutual trust and shared visibility into our workload. Because we see what leadership does not, we fill the gaps for each other. That culture of support deserves acknowledgment and structural backing.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 16 days ago

They're always friendly and willing to step in when possible to help on a project. I've never felt pushback when asking for help and overall it's a really supportive team.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 17 days ago

Coworkers need to improve ownership, follow-through, and accountability to ensure responsibilities are completed consistently. We could work better together with clearer role expectations, balanced workloads, and stronger communication to prevent gaps and last-minute coverage.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

More teamwork and collaboration rather than trying to replicate history

Review from HR Dept

We work well together to communicate remotely across several time zones.

Review from Customer Support Dept

They need to be able to complete tasks on their own or exhaust all resources before they ask for help.

Review from IT Dept

mostly good relationships, some with contention and conflct

Review from Sales Dept

We work together and we support eachother

Review from HR Dept · Posted 4 days ago

There is always something to be done in my job.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

We're always creating something new. Everyday provides a new challenge.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 10 days ago

The most positive aspect of our culture is genuine support for wellbeing. Knowing I can step away to clear my head and return recharged isn't just a perk, but it makes me a better, more present contributor.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 16 days ago

The freedom to speak up and have your voice heard even in meetings with more senior leadership. Everyone's opinion feels welcome and encouraged.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 17 days ago

Realize that some people working are just working to get paid, not actually enjoying the work.

Review from Engineering Dept

Leaders (both managers and senior IC) need to encourage working collaboratively on a day to day basis and not just when the SHTF. Need to convince people that change is possible.

Review from Engineering Dept

Multi-layered intview with key stakeholders

Review from Finance Dept

People at Proofpoint are nice and it shows.

Review from Engineering Dept

Working with my team , seeing the real impact of our work .

Review from HR Dept · Posted 4 days ago

The fact that I have a job that I love to do

Review from HR Dept · Posted 5 days ago

The work that I do!! I work on meaningful projects that truly impact the organization long term

Review from HR Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Honestly? My teammates. A quick coffee chat or check-in before we get back to it is the highlight of my day. That sense of connection and community is what makes showing up easy.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 16 days ago

Taking on interesting new challenges with the support of my team and the wider organization.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 17 days ago

Workload is uneven and often exceeds role scope, with gaps covered by a few team members. Pay does not consistently reflect responsibilities. This can be improved by balancing workloads, reinforcing accountability, and aligning compensation with role expectations and output.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Sumit doesnt care about employees
