Pros

Working with the accounting team was great!

Cons

Moved some accounting operations over seas and did not train the employees properly resulting in US employees consistently cleaning up the mess. This is due to management team not knowing the job well enough to train the employees properly.

Pros

Fully remote, at least for some teams. Generally excellent coworkers. Good paycheck.

Cons

VC backed 20 year old “start up.” Avoid this company at all costs. They do not respect you, will churn and burn you. You’re completely expendable. If you say no, you’re fired. If you try to have difficult conversations or push for change, you’re fired. Management is chaotic and disorganized. Executives are spoiled brats who are paid entirely too much and do too little. All of the executives are buddies from college or previous workplaces. Some individuals have $200k personal budgets while others manage the workload of 3 people and work 80 hrs a week because Forescout won’t hire more people, all in the name of increasing company profits.

Sound like a very difficult experience for you. Just for clarification, Forescout was taken private about 4 years ago. We are owned by two PE firms. VC's and PE's operate in very different ways. And PE's to demand a lot of rigor and commitment from the exec team they have entrusted with their investment. No doubt there have been a lot of changes at Forescout, including many executives who have arrived in the last couple of years. I am not aware of any of them being college buddies. Yes, some of them have worked for the CEO before. I think that's a tremendous advantage. Anytime we hire and individual with existing relationships inside the company, they are better vetted for professional and cultural fit and have an internal guide to help them. I'd encourage you to try to find some fulfilment here. Your experience is way off from what the "average" employee is telling us they experience via multiple employee engagement surveys with improving results.
