This is like second or third time seeing this company name mentioned this week.

Yeah, because it's a stable enterprise cybersecurity company. Other companies are operating by burning a lot of debt investment cash. When recession comes, I am not sure if their bets will pay off. Proofpoint's revenues have been growing 30% and work life balance is amazingly good. Male/female ratio is pretty good too for majority of the teams.

Interesting. I was into security industry but not anymore after seeing most of them sell mediocre products.

How much experience do you have.

Intuit kkTh24 OP May 28, 2018

15 years

Hmm ok. Intuit glassdoor figures look very low. Are u staff or senior engineer there? Staff software engineer at Intuit has the same comp as Senior software engineer at proofpoint.

TC or GTFO

It's all over the map. We aren't standardized like the big guys.

Proofpoint backend May 28, 2018

Yeah based on the role you play or the team, we are literally all over the map. Can you atleast specify what role or the kind of work you did at Intuit? If you can prove your value, your TC per year can go past 200K. I know a fresh grad making 120k TC and someone with 3 years exp making 120K TC as well. He was able to prove his worth. The other person is more passive and took what they got.

This is standard practice in Bay area.

For 15 YOE, package 200 base + 120K Rsu(4 years vesting) + 25 bonus

Proofpoint 123- tao Jun 10, 2018

Is it staff role ? rsu is too less 30k / yrs

Proofpoint AEas61 Jun 6, 2018

Add to it awesome WLB....10am-5pm

Proofpoint makebank Jun 6, 2018

True that. 10 am to like 5 pm with an hour of lunch in between. Also, a lot of engineers do work from home on Friday.

Proofpoint Willburger Jan 25, 2023

Reading this is 2023, all employees work from home. WLB is a great, no issues, no layoffs need to learn Hindi or mandarin for some teams but hey if you can learn python then these are not hard
