Anyone have experience Working at Proofpoint ?

Stay away! Proofpoint conducts semi-annual layoffs instead of providing review feedback. They're absolutely ruthless and the profit sharing and equity programs are a joke. Proofpoint has multiple redundant engineering organizations and will someday horizontally integrate and layoff 50%. As far as i can tell, these redundancies extend to other divisions of the company as well, such as marketing, admin, and sales. Also, the meeting culture is obnoxious, decisions are only made by the 2 year old C suite(which is fairly technically oblivious), and their lack of substantive interviewing means incompetence stalks the halls. RUN, DON'T WALK, AWAY!

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
