Pros

Free lunch once a year. Decent dental plan.

Cons

This could get long. Inhale, now exhale. Inhale one more time, now exhale. Let’s start with the elementary factor. This place is like elementary school for adults. Everyone (and I mean everyone) gossip about eachother. It’s gotten to the point where HR sends out a survey asking about trust issues. Let’s just say the results were incredible (catch the sarcasm) If your not a McAffee groupie, say bye bye to career upward mobility. Being “different” is frowned upon. Ideas are curbed and not welcome. Process seems to be important, but process changes every 36 hours. C Level execs believe that they walk on water. It’s weird. I’ve literally heard a VP say they were the Salesforce God, like dude you just ran a report, big deal. Most managers have no clue how to manage their own lives (openly talk about divorce, drunken nights, drug use, etc) there’s a saying, “if your the smartest person in the room, your in the wrong room” well folks, you will always be the smartest person the room at this hen house. If you are interviewing at this company, TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THESE REVIEWS. It’s almost as if there was some sort of directive from management to write positive ones (great benefits, great wages) get a grip, anyone with a IQ of 10 could see through these false postings. Talent at Forescout disappears faster than a fart in a fan factory. If you enjoy some dude in Australia telling you what to do, clicky gossip groups, no career advancement, and colleagues who are on their way out - then by all means, come join this narcissistic, egotistical, big headed company. Chances are you will end up quitting, getting a new job elsewhere, or let go within a month. People here will try to communicate that this company is a start up. Well, this value-less company is 17 years old about to graduate high school. You will be a very sad individual if you join this company, I promise you that.

Pros

Experience firs hand INFLUENCE PEDDLING. Learn how it works and how it is done.

Cons

In FORESCOUT, advancement appears to hinge not on merit or expertise, but rather on personal connections. One cannot help but be astonished by the blatant favouritism within the accounting department, where influence seems to outweigh competence. Those who have genuinely contributed to streamlining processes and enhancing operational efficiency are rarely, if ever, asked about their professional aspirations. Meanwhile, a newcomer, whose principal qualification seems to be a close friendship with the Chief Accounting Officer—was swiftly elevated to a prominent role after merely a year of tenure. It is particularly disheartening to observe that some of those promoted struggle with the most basic professional standards, such as correctly expressing numerical amounts in English. FORESCOUT, undeterred by such contradictions, plans to distribute a perfunctory survey in October, posing the question: “Do you feel the company cares about you?” The irony is palpable. For those in INDIA fortunate enough to enjoy personal rapport with their superiors, the answer may well be yes. For the rest, the question feels more like a provocation than a genuine inquiry.
