FLIGHT Onboarding: Starting a Cybersecurity Career at Palo Alto Networks

Joining a global leader in cybersecurity is more than just a new job—it’s the start of a mission. For our newest team members in Germany, that journey begins with FLIGHT, our comprehensive onboarding program designed to immerse new hires in our culture, technology, and global community.

Recently, Theodora (Major Account Manager) and Sascha (Regional Sales Manager) traveled from Germany to our U.S. headquarters to complete a pivotal week of their integration. Below, they share their firsthand experiences of the spirit, scale, and energy that define the first few weeks at Palo Alto Networks.

"Just wrapped up the first part of our HQ week in Week 4 of the FLIGHT onboarding at Palo Alto Networks — and what an amazing experience it has been! 😄✨

It’s my first time in the U.S., which already makes this journey special 🇺🇸, but what stood out the most this week was the incredible spirit within this group. You can truly feel what it means to be part of something bigger — a global mission driven by passionate people shaping the future of cybersecurity. 🔐🌍

I’m especially grateful for the new connections I’ve made. Meeting so many inspiring people has been the greatest gift of all 🎁 — the conversations, the support, and the energy everyone brings truly elevate you. 🤝💡

Feeling thankful, energized, and excited for everything that’s ahead!"
