Pros

Possibly of remote work but w travel as needed which is ok. Smart and extremely savvy technical folks. That's the company's asset

Cons

Horrific and inefficient management. Trerrible churn. Things get done 3 or 4 times as a norm. Folks get burned out. Management is so narcissistic

Pros

Good benefits, good talent, not alot of turner over, here on the engineering team we are always improving the product based on customer feedback

Cons

Poor cross collaboration between department heads. CFO is too nonconfrontational, GC is in daily screaming match with someone, HR head is never in the office. It goes on and on. How can department heads expect teams to cross collaborate when heads HATE each other. Another executive offsite wont fix this MIKE!

We always welcome constructive employee feedback on how we can make Forescout a better place to work and want to address some of your specific comments here. First, the term hostile workplace has a very specific meaning, and it is not okay for any employee at Forescout to feel they are working under these conditions – period! As acting Chief People Officer I take these words very seriously and invite you to come speak to me any time. I am in the office every day when I am not traveling. Secondly, we hold our leadership team to a high standard and they need to be an example to the rest of the company on how to handle healthy debate while being aligned to our mission to be the leader in device visibility and control. While we may have some work to do to get everyone moving in the same direction, ‘hate’ is not a word that describes the executive level relationships. Our leadership team has regular collaboration sessions that help move the strategy, vision and values of the company forward. We are a fast growing company and recognize that Forescout isn’t for everyone but we are committed to making this a great place to work. If you have recommendations my door is always open … typically at 7 am ☺ Julie

Where Dreams Go To Die

Pros

It's extremely difficult to get Fired

Cons

Everything! Strongly Advise you to reconsider your options. Read the previous credited reviews to get a feel for this company and the direction they're going in. The 4-5 stars are written from HR because they have to submit a positive review after each negative one. Pay is high but advancing within the company is non-existent unless you're a part of THE clique. Extremely distasteful culture and average life of an employee is around 12 months. Expressed concerns or critical feedback in order to make things run smoother are taken as personal insults when in reality it's just business. Mgmt is a joke. Ask about CHURN rate and take a picture of the interviewers expression. Irony: Product is visibility yet they don't even have that within their own company. The product verbiage consist of breaking down those silos yet each department is like that and has zero communication with one another. If this is your first job and you don't know any better, you'll will definitely be taken advantage of. Things to look out for: HR, marketing, pay stubs, expenses, marketing, road map, lack of SFDC reports, management, marketing, stock options, paperwork to sign, cafeteria, drama, and marketing. Don't say I didn't warn you. . .
