5/5 People 2/5 Company - Software Engineer Forcepoint Employee Review

To see the evolution of Forcepoint over the last few years has been impressive. We continue to grow and invest in our company and people. I feel as if I make an impact in the company and always feel appreciated. Forcepoint is a great place to excel. Our CEO personally cares about the success of the people and company.

Fast paced environment, strategy changes as the market changes. fun but can be hard for some.

Remote friendly. Good culture depending on the team.

I am making $185k total comp as a basic Marketing Manager. Not even a 'Senior' Manager, but just your basic peasant-class Manager. How can I be making as much money (or more) than some of the Forcepoint staff lawyers, more money than some junior-level medical doctors, but my job title is equivalent to that of some recent college grad? This matters because my job is Director-level in everything but title only. All my KPI's, performance reviews, and work, is at the Director level. But because I am a basic manager, some of my peers treat me as if I am 23 years old making $70k/yr with bare bones KPI's. This creates an awkward situation because I am paid more than many colleagues who have more senior job titles than me. But since we do not openly discuss salary, my peers do not know this and think my KPI's are basic, when really I have much higher KPIs than colleagues with more senior job titles It is silly that some peers are making 20-30% less than me, but have more senior job titles just because of tenure - which is a meaningless indicator of performance.
