Business Outlook

Pros

If you are flexible can take on many things and try them out. Security, Development, product whatever. Cool relaxed remote work from anywhere culture depending on manager. ( also could be con)

Cons

Too slow. Constant change in product strategy. they are trying hard to position the company for growth. shock and awe layoffs and shutdowns of whole divisions or countries.. san jose/israel totally cut. PE held company - so expect a lot of psychotic behavior

Horrible Leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Forescout was a great place to work with lots of amazing coworkers (non-leadership positions).

Cons

Leadership that ran the company into the ground forcing the company to go private again. New leadership brought in was even worse. The General Counsel was a nightmare who ran off everyone on the Legal team and created a culture of fear and survival mode.

Sorry you had such a poor experience. About half of the current exec team arrived in the last couple of years, including a new GC. A refreshed executive team post a PE take private is not unusual. A take private is often an indicator that new executive leadership is required. We regularly conduct employee engagement surveys. Our eNPS is improving on every dimension and well above industry benchmarks. The feedback from that survey is read by every exec and manager is the company and generates many improvement actions.
