Our Mission

We protect people from cybercrime by developing powerful and intuitive products and services that provide the world’s most effective cybersecurity for organizations of any size.

Our Values and Vision

When highly talented people work together in an environment where they can do the best work of their careers, amazing and successful companies are built. Our Sophos Values and Guiding Principles captures who we are as a company and how we operate, reflecting in part who we are today and what we aspire to become. It helps guide us to build a truly great company: one that makes a positive difference for our customers and partners, that does important work in the world, that is successful for our stakeholders, and that we are all proud to be part of.

We are driven by real values, which are demonstrated by real behavior, every day, throughout the company, all over the world:

Our core values: The heart of how we work

Our values shape everything, from the way we build products to the way we support one another. They’re not just words; they guide our decisions, our teamwork, and our success.

Simplicity: We aim to make cybersecurity intuitive and efficient through smart design, automation, and re-engineering.
Empowerment: We trust our people to take ownership, act with integrity, and challenge the status quo.
Passion: We care deeply about the work we do and the people we do it with.
Innovation: We never settle. We experiment, learn fast, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Authenticity: We’re honest, transparent, and unafraid to speak up, even when it’s hard.

Flexible work, built around you

We know that life doesn’t always fit into a 9-to-5. That’s why we offer flexible working models that let you thrive in your role while managing personal priorities.

Remote and Hybrid Options: Most roles are remote-first, and some teams use a hybrid model for in-person collaboration when it makes sense.
Flexible Hours: We trust you to manage your time effectively - whether that’s adjusting start and end times or shifting your workday.

At Sophos we focus on every individual’s unique learning and development goals, and we are committed to equipping our global team with the necessary training, development, and growth opportunities to advance their careers at Sophos.

Grow with us: learning, leadership, and development

Leadership Development Program: Build skills in management, communication, and strategy through structured learning tracks.
Sophos Mentorship Program: Get guidance and perspective from experienced mentors across the company.
Promotion from Within: We’re committed to advancing internal talent. Your next opportunity could be just around the corner.
Sophos Learning Days: Each year, take 3 paid days (or 24 hours) for personal learning, whether that’s earning a certification, exploring a new skill, or diving into a new area of interest.

Employee rewards

We believe in recognizing your contributions with more than just a paycheck. Our compensation and benefits package are designed to support you and your family, both at work and at home.

Key Benefits Include:

Paid Parental Leave: 12 weeks for birthing mothers and 6 weeks for all other parents.
Caregiver Leave: Up to 2 weeks of paid leave annually to care for critically ill family members.
Bereavement Leave: Up to 20 paid days to support you through a personal loss.

Note: Where local laws provide greater benefits, the more generous policy applies.

We believe in paying our employees to market and rewarding performance and unique skill sets. We benchmark pay based on market competitive compensation for industry, position, location, and experience. Our health care benefits are available worldwide.

The health and wellbeing of our global team is our top priority. We offer periodic Sophos wellness days off for all Sophos to help employees relax and recharge. We have a global wellbeing program, which offers a range of wellbeing resources, including Sophos Wellbeing Webinars, Stress Management Toolkits, and Developing Resilience Courses. All employees have 24/7 access to our free Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for confidential advice and counseling on a wide range of work and personal issues. Sophos employees currently receive a free annual subscription to the Calm app, which helps to reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus, and encourage more restful sleep.

Sophos supports employees who need to prioritize their personal life events. Birthing mothers qualify for 12-weeks of paid maternity leave.* All parents (mothers, fathers and adopting parents) welcoming a new child are eligible for 6-weeks of paid parental leave. Our Caregiver Leave gives employees up to 2-weeks of paid leave* in a 12-month period to care for an ill parent, spouse, or child. In the event of a loss, Sophos also offers up to 20 days* of paid Bereavement/Compassion Leave.

We regularly reward and thank our global team, such as end of year gifts. And when global restrictions allow, we host some unforgettable social experiences for our global teams including our music festival SOPH-Fest, go-karting, Sophmudder, and incredible holiday parties!

We like to keep employees on their toes too -- our annual global fitness challenge, SOPH-Fit, sees thousands of employees taking part in our virtual global race around the world.

*To the extent these policies provide a lesser benefit than a country, state, or local law, the more generous benefit will apply.

Great work deserves to be recognized, and we do just that through a few special programs:

The Sophos Values Awards: Quarterly recognition for team members who truly live our values and help shape our culture.
Long Service Recognition: At key anniversaries, employees receive extra paid leave and a monetary award.
