Pros

Inclusion and transparency from leadership. HR before mid-'23 was the absolute best I've ever experienced. Good product, great security people.

Cons

The preparation for acquisition clearly started in '23, when great leaders started leaving and people with zero respect for company values and culture came in. Do what it takes at all costs became the norm and nothing else mattered. Questionable moves to push people out, oddly many of color. Subtle references to race, gender, etc., became acceptable as long as you were pushing the bottom line forward. It was heartbreaking to see after the years leading up to it being truly one of the best companies there was. Ultimately it will just be whatever Zscaler culture is now.
