Pros

It's an amazing platform and the company is moving quickly.

Cons

It's got to be the most toxic work environment/culture I've ever worked in. Senior Leadership are a bunch of micromanagers. There's no planning done at all - projects were cancelled or changed a week before launch, after months of development, org prep, etc. because the CEO changed his mind on the product direction or name.

Pros

Zscaler’s bread and butter products are great. Excellent pay and benefits. Fast growing technology

Cons

Toxic Mid Level Management looking out for themselves. Employees are easily expendable. Company seems fixated on stock prices and losing its focus on making happy customers. Diabolical review practices. My whole team received reviews from our manager. The SVP of the group then lowered everyone’s rating down a full level without any feedback or reason. The same SVP then laid us all off a few months later.
