It's very frustrating to know that Proofpoint could really be such a better place to work and more profitable too. Fundamentally, management sets a low bar for success and we meet it. We could do better if we wanted, but management is afraid of change.
What makes you most happy at work?
Working with others to create impactful solutions that enable us to move faster and more confident to serve our customers.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Company is very frugal and total compensation reflects that. Won't do 401K match and even the best tallent is not receiving stock grants. Seeing total compensation drop over time.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
It's refreshing working at a company which is actually doing good in the world- knowing we protect companies, their employees and their customers from threat actors who can do real damage to them and their lives is really great.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Leadership team is very honest, but generally sets low expectations. Company does really well mostly because the competition is incompetent/distracted and we execute better. But "better" is very relative here and there are a lot of internal challenges due to poor leadership.
