      Pros

      There are endless opportunities for growth here as a Systems Engineer - seriously. Seize the opportunity and you can make yourself a star but you have to want it. You'll work hard, but that's the case for any fast growing IT company in the Valley. The company has some growing pains, but who doesn't? Each year, ForeScout is getting more aggressive in product development and marketing. Some really innovative and exciting features are in the pipeline. Some of the SE leadership are the best in the business by supporting your goals for career advancement, and this is extremely important to me. If you work very hard, you can be a rock star here and truly change the dynamics of your customers and account team. Generous equity and RSU for new hires or top performers. Employee stock purchase plans. Competitive to well above-average pay for SEs amongst top tech companies. Work/life balance is exceptional. Extremely liberal work from home policy except for traveling to customer engagements. Very strong future so long as the pace of innovation and R&D investments keep up.

      Cons

      With just over 1,000 employees, you're not going to find the level of "insulation" or overlays for overlays you might be used to in a larger tech company like VMWare, Cisco, or HP. But I'm not complaining - that means more room for personal and career growth, less of a matrixed or siloed working environment. Product release cycles can be very challenging to meet deadlines, so the bottleneck is usually in R&D. Support teams have come a long way, but still have a long way to go. SEs are compensated largely on pool metrics - hasn't gone over well, so negotiate a starting salary you're comfortable with. Some high turnover as the company matures as a public company and continues to adapt to new challenges. ForeScout is not an easy or fast product to sell, so be prepared to ride the highs and lows of the sales cycle. The company as a whole is doing everything it can to shake the NAC branding, but it's been a slow process.

      Wow, you get it. Hard work, meaningful contributions, and seizing opportunities are key to being a rock star at Forescout, and elsewhere. And you're right...our SEs are the best in the business! Some of our recent organizational announcements are intended to help us better align R&D and go-to-market strategy to streamline execution. We are also committed to continuing to invest in our stellar customer support organization to keep our NPS score at high levels. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're fortunate to have you on Team Forecout and look forward to your rock-star career here! -MDC
