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

Pros

Lots of intelligent hardworking people who will drop what they have going on to help you. Excellent culture of coming together to get stuff done. Work life balance is good (you draw boundaries).

Cons

Benefits are ok, nothing stellar.
