      Pros

      Company has pulled together some good technologies into a cohesive portfolio.

      Cons

      Significant turn over of the engineering senior management and excessive political maneuvering has run off a huge chunk of the good talent that was brought in after the Raytheon acquisition and many of the legacy employees who were part of getting the company's products built. Company is on a path to consolidate R&D into fewer facilities so anyone not at the target locations should be looking for roles elsewhere. You won't get any warning when that time comes. Our staff in San Diego was decimated and along went a ton of historical knowledge so not sure how well they can support the deployed product these days. Culture has taken a dark turn.

      Pros

      Some really sharp and good people.

      Cons

      Weak blow hard CEO. Radical re-engineering of co structure and products that will take years...too long. Highly political and hypocritical culture facilitated by CEO, CFO, and CHRO.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice lifestyle in Austin. good location. Good size company. Cybersecurity is in demand

      Cons

      Dysfunctional senior management. The company is being run by arrogant engineering leaders. Forcepoint is not looking at what's really happening out there, twisting market and facts into a self-fulfilling vision while downplaying competitors like ZScaler, Palo or Crowdstrike, with real eco systems and growing faster
