Proofpoint Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

i appreciate the fact that we receive shares in the company

Review from HR Dept · Posted 4 days ago

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

Flexible Paid time Off Program

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Bonus and great pay, PTO time in US is extremely awesome

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Competitive packages vs the market

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

The overall package feels well-rounded. It supports both financial stability and day-to-day wellbeing, which makes a real difference.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Performance based variable compensation component

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Wellness days and volunteering days are great but also the Remuneration and Stock are also valuable

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

Base salary is the best part of the package.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 19 days ago

Equity and Annual Bonus Target

Review from HR Dept · Posted 19 days ago

My base salary and unlimited PTO

Review from Communications Dept · Posted 22 days ago

That there's a structured merit increase based on your performance, where exceptional work is noticed and rewarded - this really motivates you to continue doing your best work for the company.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 23 days ago

Our benefits take care of the whole person- we have a comprehensive package across physical, social, financial and mental wellbeing

Review from Marketing Dept · Posted 23 days ago

It's straight forward and easy to understand.

Review from Sales Dept

The availability of different insurance plans. I never had a HSA account with a CDHP before.

Review from Sales Dept

shift allowance on weekends and ability to work in some other countries

Review from IT Dept

Salary and Bonuses are great, RSUs are missing though

Review from Engineering Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

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 havent had a pay adjustment in 3 years despite being nominated as MVP in my team for bonus this year. Adjustments and conversations with my leader around the level I'm currently at would be great, not asking for significant but to match inflation

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

any pay rise would be nice, any promotion would be nice, any additional equity now mine has run out would also be nice

Review from HR Dept · Posted 18 days ago

I sometimes felt that my contributions, particularly in tackling complex challenges and delivering high-impact solutions, were not fully reflected in my compensation. A more transparent and performance-based approach to salary adjustments and recognition would have helped align my efforts with my va

Review from Engineering Dept

I do not wish to comment

Review from HR Dept

Compensation is not in par with industry for sales, 401k, and stock.

Review from Sales Dept

I think a lot of us are over worked and under paid compared to the industry.

Review from Customer Support Dept

It should be competitive to the market

Review from Customer Support Dept

I'm a manager and I have employees who I know don't make a fair wage when comparing to other employees. I also know some of my employees and the person who recently had my role make a great deal more than me.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel proofpoint can better compensate and much better oerks

Review from IT Dept

Salary is getting less and less competitive each year, and that makes me feel undervalued. Pay raise should be over inflation at least

Review from Customer Support Dept

Wage is below market standard, uplift for unsociable hours is terrible and benefits package is also average.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Lack of promotion in the Belfast NOC team, and a low uncompetitive salary to begin win

Review from IT Dept

The 401k matching is pretty sub-standard

Review from Engineering Dept

TBH yes I believe I am undervalued if I compare the work I do with other people who earn at least double what I earn , despite the massive load and pressure I have plus to teh fact I do in most cases more than what other do, in term of doing Upsel, cross sell and involvement with teh Partner/custom

Review from Sales Dept

The compensation doesn't accurately reflect the actual cost of living.
