    Our Approach to Work

    We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond

    At Palo Alto Networks, we believe in the power of collaboration and value in-person interactions.

    This is why our employees generally work from the office three days per week, leaving two days for choice and flexibility to work where you feel most effective.

    This setup fosters casual conversations, problem-solving, and trusted relationships. While details may evolve, our goal is to create an environment where innovation thrives, with office-based teams coming together three days a week to collaborate and thrive, together
