      A lot of Show on the Outside. A whole lot of Nothing inside.

      Pros

      Good and Supportive people in Engineering.

      Cons

      Terrible management. Continuous restructuring and shuffling with limited/no explanation. Stocks going down and not meeting goals lead to company being re-acquired. Very little clarity between upper-management and engineering teams in SJ about projects and direction. Also tons of politics.

      Appreciate your feedback. We have had some changes in our engineering organization to better align with our roadmap, and I understand that can feel frustrating. When it comes to our values, I see examples of them taking shape every day at Forescout. From Everyone Matters to being Gritty to staying Customer Focused, our Values are integral to what makes Forescout a rewarding place to work. I do recognize that it can take time for values to infiltrate the entire global organization, and every employee has a hand in bringing our values to life. - Pedro

      I'm sorry ForeScout wasn't a good fit for you. Like a lot of tech companies, we're fast paced and working to scale as we grow and evolve. My leadership team works really hard every day to make ForeScout successful and it's important to us to celebrate our success. Wish you the best of luck on your next chapter. -MDC

      Dishonest middle managers, boring tech, politics

      Pros

      Team is solid and capable. If you absolutely want to work in cybersecurity, this can be a first step, although you won’t get into anything very technical.

      Cons

      1. Dishonesty: San Jose Engineering leadership misled many of us to believe that our options were worth far more. – Given his knowledge of Forescout finances, it was irresponsible of him to exaggerate pre-IPO valuation. We were on the outside and had no idea of the company’s actual situation - many of us gave up valuable stock and bonuses to join. 2. Boring technology: US engineering doesn’t develop any core tech – we mostly do system integration. A lot of time spent debugging API issues with external companies who are much bigger and care less about tiny Forescout. Overall - bad career move if you wish to advance technically. (Two chief architects have quit within the past year.) 3. Politics: The original team was forced out when engineering leadership consolidated power. The knowledge we lost is irreplaceable.

      Appreciate your feedback. It helps us learn. I want you to feel as good about being part of ForeScout as others do and as excited about our technology as our customers are. Maintaining our strong technology advantage through continuous innovation is one of our biggest focuses. I encourage you to share your insights with your manager, and my door is always open. -MDC
