Pros

Good work-life balance. Currently Forescout has a hybrid work schedule with 2 days in office and 3 days out of office. Able to WFH on in-office days if needed. Co-workers are friendly and helpful, there is a collaborative environment and not much back-stabbing. Competitive compensation and benefits, although the overall compensation has decreased after being acquired by private equity.

Cons

Lots of churn, and significant changes in C-level executives and above. Company does not seem to have a clear focus and cannot seem to commit to any particular strategy. Also there has been a lot of turnover in engineering over the past 2 years, and there is considerable backlog without enough resources. There is a lot of technical debt with the product, and the tech stack is outdated for the core product - Java 8, Perl (!!). Engineers in Dallas are focused on minor feature additions and continued support of the product, and there are not a lot of exciting new projects to work on. No clear career development trajectory.
