Pros

In the past few years, Forcepoint has grown tremendously with acquisition of various products. In the wide field of data security, it has shifted the focus to DLP. We have a real good set of products focusing on DLP like DLP (cloud/on-prem), DSPM etc and it should continue. There are different engineering teams focusing on different products along with a single SRE team. With an expanding set of products, the SRE team is growing as well and laying the foundation for SRE practices, including production readiness, reliability, observability etc. It’s an evolving effort with plenty of opportunity for further improvement. Great Company culture. No blame game. Managers are very supportive. Based on your location, you can work hybrid or remote which is rare these days.

Cons

There is room to improve how salaries are determined, with more emphasis on skills and contributions rather than solely on designations.

Pros

Remote friendly. Good culture depending on the team.

Cons

I am making $185k total comp as a basic Marketing Manager. Not even a 'Senior' Manager, but just your basic peasant-class Manager. How can I be making as much money (or more) than some of the Forcepoint staff lawyers, more money than some junior-level medical doctors, but my job title is equivalent to that of some recent college grad? This matters because my job is Director-level in everything but title only. All my KPI's, performance reviews, and work, is at the Director level. But because I am a basic manager, some of my peers treat me as if I am 23 years old making $70k/yr with bare bones KPI's. This creates an awkward situation because I am paid more than many colleagues who have more senior job titles than me. But since we do not openly discuss salary, my peers do not know this and think my KPI's are basic, when really I have much higher KPIs than colleagues with more senior job titles It is silly that some peers are making 20-30% less than me, but have more senior job titles just because of tenure - which is a meaningless indicator of performance.
