Pros

Benefits good for the first year, then cut down- Snacks, lunch (once a week) - A few good women/men

Cons

TAC (support), Professional Services, Resident Engineers struggle without clear Leadership. No labs to recreate customer issues, no QA for upcoming releases. A complex solution that integrates with 3rd parties without SME's. Q3 2016 they slow down the hiring, but most of the Sales team left... like others mentioned STAY AWAY if you want a career path.

Pros

upscale building in san jose headquarter. plenty of parking spots.

Cons

The company calls itself silicon valley based tech company but with over 90% of engineers based out of san jose headquarter and the whole population of engineers are less than some other group. Collaboration with Tel aviv is extremely difficult. Too many politics. Short sighted upper managements with no willing to invest on R&D. The dated product can't compete with new cloud based products. 2020 Q1 revenue dropped nearly 50% comparing to 2019 Q4, which leads to the acquisition on hold. Now they are laying off numbers of employees with poor severance package to demonstrate one company value: "everyone matters".

We are incredibly proud of our Tel Aviv roots as well as our other R and D sites across the globe. We are undergoing a significant transformation as we pivot from on-prem to subscription and cloud-based offerings. We have had to make some tough decisions to ensure we have the right skills to deliver on this important technology transformation. We are incredibly proud of the progress we’re making and the diverse make-up of our global teams. I’m sorry Forescout wasn’t a good fit for you and I wish you the best of luck. - Pedro

Pros

The network access control product is highly rated by industry analysts. Pockets of good, genuine, hardworking people who strive to do the right things right.

Cons

Hands down, it's the senior leadership and those aspiring to get there. Immature "rock 'n roll" culture and new office touted as a fun company differentiator and tries to cover up executive egos and insecurities, sub-optimized decision making, organizational in-fighting, lack of long-term vision, poor people leadership and micromanagement by VPs and Senior Directors. Strong old boys and girls McAfee network. Great company parties - plenty of free booze and seriously short skirts. So many people come and go from this company HR doesn't even bother to publish org charts. Don't walk -- run away from this morally bankrupt company.
