Assuming you get a OpenVPN config file for work or know the credentials: OpenVPN is integrated in most distros, no app needed. Just go to your network settings and add a new connection. Either add an OpenVPN connection if you want to configure it manually or if you have a config file, there is an option to import it.

Doing it this way adds a simple toggle like turning on/off your wifi. Pretty neat.

hmm, i'll check that; i found this which works well since the actual linux client of globalprotect is locked behind a paywall. i didn't have a config from work, just a url to connect to and then i log in via 365.

Ah, didn't know GlobalProtect has a different way to authenticate. Should be fine to use the application you linked then.
