Pros

Benefits, work life balance, people are very nice

Cons

The core technology of the product is a 20 years old monolith, with only minor corrections ever since.

Forescout Technologies Response

Sorry to hear you are had a less than optimal experience. As you know, we have a newish (>2 years) CEO who has brought a lot of rigor around a clear vision, strategic direction, goals & objectives, etc. And a set of new products to address the evolving cyber security threats our customers face.
