Pros

I've been working at ForeScout for 8 months and unfortunately there not many pros of working here. I REALLY wish I would have listened to the reviews below before coming on board. BUT there are a few positives: - Higher compensation than most tech companies I've worked for. - Pretty decent benefits and 401k program. - A few cool people in each department, but a lot of terrible people too. - Cool office space (that they spent way too much money on since no one is ever in the office. The place is a ghost town). - Free snacks and drinks - Yay! - Work/life balance is okay.

Cons

If you are trying to decide whether or not to apply here or accept your offer, don't apply and shred your offer and look elsewhere. Like I said before, I should have listened to the reviews below. Every 5 star review is written by HR to help increase their poor rating, which at one point was in the 2's. - Widespread arrogance, politically charged environment. If you aren't part of MD's clique, forget about moving up within the company. - Tons of money spent on parties no one wants to go to. - Very poor leaders that don't listen to their employees. 95% of them think they are greatest thing to ever walk the earth. - Lack of career advancement paths - Very poor communication within departments, especially within marketing and sales. - Product can't compete with Cisco

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I take employee feedback seriously and appreciate your insights. We're looking at ways that we can improve the two-way communication processes. We have a strong competitive edge, yet we are very focused on continuously innovating. I would love for you to talk with your manager, or even to me, so we can dial-in on ways to make ForeScout great for you. -MDC

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).

Benefits are ok, nothing stellar.
