Pros

- First and foremost I have absolutely have loved my last 3 years at Forescout and hope to be here for many more years to come. - It’s an amazing tech company who’s on the forefront of the devise visibility, control and orchestration forefront. Not only is the company growing quickly, but the majority of the employees are passionate about Forescout’s future as well as their contribution and focus on company vision. - Collaborative work environment between all departments. - Flexibility on office hours and working remotely when needed. - Competitive Pay - Great benefits - Wonderful work culture - Direct Management always has your back and completely trusts you make the right calls. - All execs are very approachable - Never a dull day and there’s always a challenge which allows for growth. - A CEO and exec staff who are passionate about equal pay and equal opportunity for not just women, but ALL, not matter what ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. They really value diversity and they actually walk the talk! - An amazing summer intern program which brings so much excitement and life to the company.

Cons

Not sure if I consider these cons more than growing pains or areas of improvement. - Lots of global standardization that needs to take place with not a lot of resources to do so to keep up with the pace we are growing. - Back office functions feel under-valued and underappreciated. - Long hours with very little recognition - Never able to completely detach from work while on PTO, which makes it very difficult to unwind and completely recharge, which plays a huge contributor to burn out.

Pros

Great company with great culture! Everyone is hard working and friendly and eager to help and mentor others. Management really cares and wants to retain employees to the extent that employees relocation has been approved and that really says great things about this company. I have been in this company from it's pre-IPO stage and have seen first hand how the company and people have grown. Internal promotions have been awarded to employees and that's a key for employee retention.

Cons

Internal promotion in Finance has been slower compared to the other departments within the company. Admin employees are less recognized when compared to Sales and marketing employees and that's the overall frustration in the company.

Pros

i have been working at ForeScout full time for more than 10 years. It is an outstanding company to work for, professional, talented people and plenty of opportunities to contribute and enhance your skills and career. I had the opportunity to relocate, change my role within the finance department and be part of something huge due to my managers support and inspiration. I got the chance to work with new teams on projects that inspired and challenged me every single time and gained a truly global experience. I'm fortunate to be in a place that understand the importance of Work- life balance and promotes it in so many ways (gym, company outings, working remotely, encouraging to work more efficiently vs. to work longer hours, maternity benefits etc.)

Cons

Currently there is no cons to speak about. There are challenges that we are experiencing as a growing company but with our clear agenda (vision) we will continue to achieve our goals.
