Pros

An innovative approach to security. There are a few very smart directors and vice presidents that have learned to navigate the minefield of Zscaler politics.

Cons

Horrible culture, driven by politics and back-biting. Petulant CEO has no respect for anyone and serves as a huge bottle neck (supreme micro-manager; won't approve projects; won't approve expenses; schedules impromptu meetings at 5:30pm or on Saturdays). Marketing & HR "coax" new employees to write five-star reviews. Don't believe these reviews; working for Zscaler is a miserable experience.

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.
