Pros

PANW is still an excellent network security company with a phenomenal brand

Cons

Prisma Cloud Sales has had a reign of leaders who were hired into roles they did not belong in, ultimately running the business into the ground. It is impossible for any leader or non manager to be successful at Prisma Cloud as current leaders are given impossible tasks or are toxic. Attrition remains high. Enablement is non existent, leaving even “veterans” unaware of how to sell the product. The product itself is a shell of what it used to be and non functioning most of the time, leading to generally angry customers and massive customer separation to various other products in the market. Palo Alto Networks does not understand cloud, or how to properly sell or support software solutions at the enterprise level.

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.
