Role: Dev in prisma cloud group Current at Cisco :G12, 340, SBG(after recent stock crash) PANW offer: Sr PE Offer: 235 Base, 15% bonus 480 stocks for 4 years - comes to 390 per year Reason for change: frustrated by cisco politics, non stop reorgs and clueless woke leadership. TC probably will go down further Still havent signed. Any room to negotiate further? Appreciate feedback
I can see the Cisco culture already here at PANW, because lot of Cisco people join here
Ouch.. sad They are real degenerates
Yupp
Seems like a decent offer. The refreshes at SPE are decent. BTW not much Cisco in Prisms Cloud don't know WTF lifeof(n2) is talking about.
My friend had 450 TC offer last year Seems it went down after stock run Recruiter/manager both playing hard ball
How much avg refresher can we expect?
Stay away from Cisco. They layoff monthly
Don’t join panw from Cisco. It’s the same wine in a new bottle. You will be treated like a robot who is expected to just put your head down and work on what your manager assigns to you without any questions. It’s a place where opinions, feedback and creativity are not valued - in short it’s a dumpster fire I won’t wish on my worst enemy.
🤔 tell me one company where you can do whatever the f you want? Mgr - I need you to develop a policy system, engineer: no I'd rather work on an LLM application. Are you Gen Z?
How’s life at Extreme Chad420?
Op, can give any info on interview preparation and number of interviews for PANW
1 phone screen - LC easy and some domain questions 4 rounds- 3 rounds of coding and one personality 1 manager round
Can you please give examples of domain questions
Congrats. Panw is growing company and has a good runway as Cisco will keep losing business
That looks like a good PE offer - not a senior PE offer . Are u sure it’s Senior PE ? I received a senior PE offer for over 460 k around 1.5 years back . Also Senior PE gets 20 % bonus and not 15 If senior PE then they are lowballing you . Typical senior PE is in the range 420 - 480k . Ask for atleast 250 base and 600k in rsu .
Seems they are low balling due to market dynamics
I have pushed back on offer. I stand corrected on bonus - its 20%
Lowball. But you won’t be escaping cisco if you think that’s what you’re doing.
What would be good offer? Numbers are all over the place
Why not escaping Cisco? You mean PNW has similar culture?
What's SBG
Years of Exp ?
