Our
Academies

Our academies are built within the LEAP Program to provide more specialized training in key job areas.

Product Manager Academy

Pushing innovative ideas and products through development sounds rewarding, right? Product managers at Palo Alto Networks protect some of the world’s most sensitive data from constant threats by bringing together the needs of our clients with our engineer’s solutions.

As part of our Product Manager Academy, you’ll learn how to brainstorm, innovate, and disrupt the industry by creating roadmaps and product ideas that defend the world from digital dangers.

Sales Academy

Sales is a challenging career path. It’s all about building relationships, education, and persevering through rejection. It’s been said that “everyone is in sales,” so being able to stand out is key. How does Palo Alto Networks’ sales staff do that? Empathy. We care about the security of our clients, and how it keeps their business moving forward.

Join our Sales Academy to learn from the best cybersecurity sellers. Through in-depth training, you will learn to sell a portfolio of products, tell an authentic story, and build trusting relationships.

Systems Engineering Academy

As architects of cybersecurity, Palo Alto Network’s systems engineers survey the landscape, identify imminent threats, and collaborate with clients to blend existing products with never-before-used techniques, safeguarding our customers’ most valuable information.

You’ll join an elite cohort of recent technical college graduates for a two-year intense immersion into cybersecurity, Palo Alto Networks technologies, automation, and on-the-job learning.

Giving Cheers to Peers

March 2, 2021

A little over a year and a half ago, Palo Alto Networks launched a peer-to-peer recognition platform called Cheers for Peers, which enables our employees to give on-the-spot recognition to their peers who have embodied our core values: Collaboration, Disruption, Execution, Inclusion, and Integrity. Out of a desire to encourage such recognition and celebrate the day-to-day contributions made by our employees, we’ve taken Cheers for Peers to the next level by highlighting one winner for each value every quarter and giving them an extra-special surprise recognition, in the form of an announcement during each quarter’s Company All Hands meeting.

Keep Pushing: Ken Hopson

February 24, 2021

Ken says that as he reflects on the importance of Black History Month, he thinks of it as a moment of time to ask ourselves what we’re doing each day to combat the problem of racism. He believes corporations must do the same. That’s one of the things he appreciates about the culture of Palo Alto Networks, which provides a spotlight to allow people of color to tell their stories. It’s also making very meaningful changes on hiring and promotional opportunities for underrepresented communities.

Undeterred by Challenges: Jamie Fitz-Gerald

February 19, 2021

When Jamie was hired at Palo Alto Networks in 2011, I told him, “We’re a startup and we need you delivering on day one.” I almost feel bad in retrospect because Jamie didn’t have any product management experience at the time, but I must have known that he would thrive under the challenge. I believed then (as I do now) that in product management, talent is often more important than experience.

Creative Connections with Lewis Hill

February 19, 2021

To really know Lewis, you have to spend time with him.
