We are very proud of our talented employees at all levels of the company. It’s great to see that you recognize it as well. Career development is very important to myself and the rest of the management team but remember it is a two way street. We encourage ongoing career development conversations between employees and their managers at Forescout which includes laying out a development plan. Unfortunately, it seems we may have missed the mark. – Julie

Pros

I’m closing in on my 1 year anniversary, and let me tell you, this is a fun place to work! I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews, all the people I’ve worked with seem just as happy as me (I have to work with a lot of organizations outside of my own). There is a lot of exposure here to the Executive team, which I believe is a good thing. I’ve worked in large and small companies – this Exec team is far more aligned than other places I’ve worked. They aren’t competing with each other, they are all working towards our success as a company. The pace here is fast. The G&A groups are clearly understaffed, so that means there are plenty of areas to improve things. If you can work in that kind of environment, then you’ll do well here. It’s easy to make a name for yourself. There’s lots of low hanging fruit.

Cons

No company is perfect. ForeScout has a lot of growing up to do. It’s definitely trying. Let’s be realistic – if this company is going to make it to $1B, it has to start working like an enterprise, and not a start-up. Come here with an attitude to help convince others there are better (and more efficient) ways to work. Change is hard and you will be challenged to use your influencing skills here. The culture is still defining itself. This is a growth company with growing pains. It’s not a large monolith with easy 9-5 jobs. I’m the kind of person that likes those challenges. I’d rather be busy making this a better place than bored with nothing to do. The lack of process and structure are apparent. They are trying, so you need to have patience, and you need to help the company get there. The best people that are going to thrive here are the ones that can take us from chaos to organized chaos (it’s not that bad, but you get the idea). People want to do the right thing here, they just need more organized people they can follow.

Pumped you had a good first year at ForeScout and appreciate your can-do, teamwork attitude. You are 100% right that the people who make ForeScout great are those who are committed to helping us navigate our rapid growth and build scaleable processes to get us to $1B and beyond. You have some great ideas and we're lucky to have you on the team. I encourage you to share your thoughts with your manager and colleagues throughout the company. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback here. -MDC
