Positive Reviews From ForeScout Technologies Employees

  • What are some of the best things about your team?
    None to think of or ponder
  • What do you like best about the leadership team?
    Open and honest. Easy access to the top brass
  • What is the best part about your compensation package?
    Health coverage is excellent value

Constructive Feedback From ForeScout Technologies Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    There is no meritocracy here, only who you know abd who's pet you are
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Pretty much everything. The culture here is garbage and it is carnivorous, at best. Remember folks, Culture eats Strategy for breakfast. It is pretty toxic right now with 17 year old software and no clear direction. Say hello to 50% attrition by Spring '18
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    I feel like if you say 100% of the company needs to change in order to make the culture better, that it is a red herring. In this case it is not. It is every man for himself here from the top down so the term morally bankrupt from Glassdoor is 100% accurate
