I have been at Proofpoint for 6 yrs. While they are still a great company, they are very different then when I started. Product is top notch. But it is a tough sales role in the commercial org due to territory sizes.

Core products are great, but selling ancillary solutions is challenging. Compensation is solid but slowly moving the other way
