Not for everyone

Pros

If you are part of the inner circle, life is great. You are invited to all of the company parties and functions that are designed for top performers. If you are a child of the CEO or one of their friends, you never have to worry about a summer job. Great events for employees planned by a committee - but only if you are local, if you are remote you are out of sight and out of mind. Benefits are awesome

Cons

Pay - they will low ball. Growth/development not available. No accountability, under performers are allowed to stay on if they know the right people. Bonuses are distributed base on how well you are liked and not performance. CEO needs to remove himself from processes and trust the professionals hired to perform in their roles.

Thanks for your feedback. I value it even though you are no longer at ForeScout, and I wish you well on your next chapter. Recognizing our hardworking employees and their success, and celebrating our collective wins, is part of our culture. I often rely on my leadership team to help highlight and reward employees within their own groups, and try to do so myself as well. Though it's tricky to include remote employees in headquarter-based events, we support and encourage local/regional celebrations and try to make it out to remote offices to participate. -MDC

Not a Positive Environment

Pros

ForeScout has good products, and a growing customer base. There are some very good people there, and in the past, there were good relationships possible. They offer excellent benefits.

Cons

ForeScout used to have a pretty nice working environment. It was alwasy very aggressive in the level of work, but that's pretty typical of technology companies. It became a very caustic environment with the new CEO, who seems more concerned about how he looks in the market than how ForeScout is preceived. And while significant attention is given to growing the sales team, very little is dedicated to supporting existing customers nor thoughts to how to onboard the many new customers that were being sold to. It's become highly political, a place where it is best to watch your back. I don't recommend it in it's current form.

Pros

No “pros” per say here

Cons

In my opinion there are too many to list. You have been warned. In my opinion there are not good people working here. In my opinion everyone just looking out for there out interests. In my opinion this place is headed for the dumps!
