      Pros

      Some really great people who I would be delighted to work with again. But thankfully, it looks like they have all moved on as well.

      Cons

      Very cliquey. If you are friends with the right people, then it's a good place to be. Also too many people don't understand their own jobs or what the people who report to them do.

      Pros

      Good health insurance plans. Good work life balance. Upscale office building. Competitive salary.

      Cons

      Aging product and slow execution. The engineering team in San Jose is dying after a new leader was hired in early 2019. Promising projects are constantly being transferred out. Good engineers have no choice but to leave because of bad management.

      I’m sorry you feel that way, I’m super proud of our engineering team. We just launched our first SaaS product, and our San Jose engineering team was key in getting that to market. The team also built a new infrastructure to expand our orchestration strategy. We are committed to our engineering team here at HQ, and they have an exciting roadmap to continue building and expanding our product portfolio. - Pedro

      Pros

      Nice office space Lots of social gatherings

      Cons

      Management is lost. Too much time is spent on parties, logos and shiny marketing presentations and not enough time invested in attracting and retaining high quality talent (both new and promoting current high performers). Lots of nepotism within the culture. The "in club" is able to see a future but the high end talent moves on quickly. Many, if not most, of the employees do not trust upper management.

      We are an organization that enjoys celebrating our successes and our employees because we know we would not be where we are today without all of YOU! We are working very hard to hire and retain amazing talent across the globe. A strong percentage of our candidate pool comes from employee referrals which is always a positive sign. Yet we are also focused on making sure that we look at diversity in our hiring not just from a gender perspective but from a work history perspective as well. We very much want for employees to feel that they can build a successful career here at Forescout and this requires a partnership between our employees and their managers. Please leverage any internal channel you are comfortable with to let us help. Julie
