Pros

Great amount of money, that is all

Cons

They lure you by overpaying you. I was offered a solid base + RSU package. Once you join, you are basically just made to work without any sort of direction. Beware, most good reviews on Glassdoor are likely from new hires who are too excited about their job (and notice how the details are quite minimum in their reviews). The culture is extremely toxic, and there is a complete lack of respect amongst peers. I cannot vouch for this statement, but there is a feeling within the company that everything needs to be signed off by the CEO. They love big numbers and keep quoting "billion measurements" etc etc. They love making inflated claims - which is what they do when they try to hire/lure you. I just do not wish for anyone to go through what I went through. Stay away, stay away at all costs from this place. I cannot emphasize this enough. If money is what motivates you, by all means go and join Zscaler

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.
