Lots of potential - werkgeversreview Named Account Manager bij Proofpoint

Great company culture with positive outlook

Lower base salary than industry standards

Products work for the most part. You are selling technology that cyber professionals need. It’s easier than most companies in the space to get meetings with security executives.

Micro management that doesn’t add value or help love deals. They are paper pushing and reporting and continuously have last min reporting needs that take precedence over getting deals done. They bring a lot of problems to the table with few solutions. Many came with out management experience and do not have the people skills to manage different people and personalities. Proofpoint is extremely cheap with expenses. Be prepared to have to cover bills yourself if you take clients out to dinner because if you go to a nice restaurant and the client orders an app, a few drinks, a meal and desert, Proofpoint will not even cover this when it’s reasonable. There is a lot of competition in the space and that makes every deal a knife fight going back and forth on price. In general they treat women very poorly. No support for maternity or post partum with very bad benefits that don’t match other tech companies.
