Imploding. Run away.

Pros

Hiring -- But every opening is because three people left to escape the sinking ship.

Cons

The GTM model does not align with reality. The product is complex and difficult to deploy and sustain. All the talent is gone. VC in cost cutting mode. Yet another Sales CEO who wants to run this company like where he came from. Very political, cliquish culture

Pros

If you can make it to the 20 person inner circle, they seem happy

Cons

Everyone is fake, self serving, entitled, and overall interested in convincing you that you should feel lucky to have been employed by them. They use discretion in their favor to interpret commission agreements, ultimately denying payment to many of my colleagues for deals they closed. Run. Mgmt has their head to far it will take a while for the new owners to even try to pull it together.

Pros

Good work-life balance. Currently Forescout has a hybrid work schedule with 2 days in office and 3 days out of office. Able to WFH on in-office days if needed. Co-workers are friendly and helpful, there is a collaborative environment and not much back-stabbing. Competitive compensation and benefits, although the overall compensation has decreased after being acquired by private equity.

Cons

Lots of churn, and significant changes in C-level executives and above. Company does not seem to have a clear focus and cannot seem to commit to any particular strategy. Also there has been a lot of turnover in engineering over the past 2 years, and there is considerable backlog without enough resources. There is a lot of technical debt with the product, and the tech stack is outdated for the core product - Java 8, Perl (!!). Engineers in Dallas are focused on minor feature additions and continued support of the product, and there are not a lot of exciting new projects to work on. No clear career development trajectory.
