Palo Alto Networks?
I’m thinking of moving to Palo Alto Networks. I know their comp is nice, but I know next to nothing about their culture. Anyone know what their culture is like? Are people happy there? Challenging projects? I’m thinking of moving there maybe next year as I feel like Li doesn’t have many interesting problems to solve at this point and I’m stagnating.
Even I had a similar thought. But my concern is how are these vendor networking companies gonna be in the future when more enterprises move from on-prem to AWS/GCP/Azure. Will they still be relavent?
I think everyone will always need on premis security no matter what. Palo has nowhere to go but up through growth or merger.
Native firewall options in the cloud are ****
I think pan is a very interesting company. The corporate culture is good. Your experience heavily depends on your manger. Some good and some bad. I have been at pan for 3years and like it. There are some micromanaged engg groups. Avoid them
firewall team is good..avoid cloud team even if they offer good TC.. its a trap!
Depends on the cloud team. Like every job, make sure the team you are working with has a good fit in terms of WLB culture. Always ask those questions in interviews.
How about the Auto Focus team? Is the WLB and culture healthy on that team?
That's a great team to go for! TBH, WLB in Palo Alto is definitely different from other companies. Do they expect you to work like crazy? Yes. Do they allow remote work? Depends on team, not sure about AF. Do they have a positive outlook as a company? HELL YES, and this is why most people work here. It's also very responsive in my experience. If you have a good arg for why to do things a certain way, you can be heard. I fought like hell after joining the company, even burning Bridges with my SVP at the time, but the end result? Everyone in management respected me MORE for challenging the status quo, including everyone whom I thought I had burned Bridges with
OP did you make the move ? Pls dm me if u can.
Haven't. Li got interesting again and I don't look forward to giving up all perks
How is PAN now? Specifically SRE role.
How is globalprotect team?
PANW 'GPCS' renamed to 'Prisma Access' is a toxic team. specially SRE job. Lots of micro-management by manager. Avoid this team if you can.
Yes , I heard good things about global protect team from friend. Can any body confirm.
Depends on the manager. Some good some bad.
Avoid their cloud division, very toxic environment.
What was your experience? They seem pretty happy to me. Is there a particular team?
