      Huge mistake

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - tone from the top is to value and promote employees - hot product and market - free drink and snacks - nice office space - some friendly and smart people - life/work balance is not bad

      Cons

      - politics is the main game here. Want to move up? Play the game or know the right people - no open communication and feedback from managers - top management don’t get along - high percentage of middle management are incredibly incompetent. It’s pretty eye opening to see how they prosper by serving up - no career advancement opportunities - employees are encouraged to speak up, but when they do they will be faced with retaliation. In one particular organization , hardworking employees are pushed out left and right very skillfully, because they are not friends with or disliked by the organization head.

      We're working on ways to break down silos and improve communication across the global organization. I assure you, I DO want to hear from all employees, including you. We try to encourage and foster open and direct communications through small quarterly employee lunches with me, all-hands meetings, and frankly, anyone can just drop by my office to chat. I also encourage you to start an open conversation with your manager and solicit feedback regarding your performance and career opportunities. Our goal is to build an organization where there are plentiful opportunities to sustain a long and successful career. -MDC

      Okay Place to Work

      Senior manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility in work schedule. Fairly stress-free work environment.

      Cons

      Promotions unlikely. Mismanagement of budget spent on travel and entertainment (so if you work in Sales or the Exec staff this is actually a bonus). Almost no progress ever gets made in the back office or sales support roles because of the strangulation of the teams working in silos and unwillingness to change dated processes. No budget to assist with implementing technology to streamline workflow because of previously stated travel and entertainment budget. Lots of managers to avoid. Almost all managers need corporate leadership training.

      Appreciate your feedback. With our rapid growth, many processes are being built in real-time. This can create some understandable frustrations, but we're working diligently to scale as quickly as possible. Regarding leadership training, we recently rolled this out to director level managers and above to further develop the skills of our leadership team. If there is a role or work that you're interested in taking on, I encourage you to speak with your manager about expanding your scope. We want to enable you to grow your career here at ForeScout and certainly have enough work to go around! -MDC
