PANW palo alto networks sr principal offer eval

Didn't get a verbal offer per se, but close enough. Basically recruiter told me the ranges (supposedly) of a few items: Base 220-250k Bonus 20% RSU 280-300k (vests over 4 years) Sign on 10k (can increase with "justification") How does this look? Is there room for more RSUs? And how to "justify" more sign on? Current TC 360, YOE 19

RSU can go up to 400k. Saw one here on blind yesterday.

Hi OP, out of curiosity, your current TC is 360, and this role offers a similar TC, why are you considering this role?

Broadcom Ltd. nbvh457 OP Sep 27, 2020

Well, the hope is it negotiate something higher, because if it is similar, I probably won't switch. But the job content does seem more interesting, and the company culture seems better. But I suppose those are "soft" items rather than "hard" items to consider.

Is this for ASIC design opening?

Broadcom Ltd. nbvh457 OP Sep 28, 2020

Yes they have many ASIC openings right now. They are expanding their team.

HW culture is OK. Cloud side units are really bad in terms of culture and work life balance.

Broadcom Ltd. nbvh457 OP Oct 9, 2020

Update: got the actual offer, but it was much below expected TC for upcoming year. Would have tried to negotiate, but was told the numbers were pretty much max and not much wiggle room. So, sadly had to decline the offer. It's a shame though, really liked the team and company culture, sounded like a fun job where I could have contributed a lot. Don't you just hate it when money gets in the way of things! 🀣

What was the final offer?

Palo Alto Networks bm7$& Oct 13, 2020

It's the PAN culture to make you work with minimum required wage. You need to beg for promotion or raise or bonus.

Which team is good for future growth? - cloud management - consumer cloud - prisma cloud - prisma left shift - prisma cloud data security

Palo Alto Networks ok_ok Dec 1, 2020

Consumer cloud is new team so you have opportunities to grow. Prisma cloud culture is really bad. Prisma left shift you wanna stay away in every possible way, perfect example of mismanagement
