STAY AWAY! The worst company I have ever worked! - Software Engineer Forescout Technologies Employee Review

Pros

upscale building in san jose headquarter. plenty of parking spots.

Cons

The company calls itself silicon valley based tech company but with over 90% of engineers based out of san jose headquarter and the whole population of engineers are less than some other group. Collaboration with Tel aviv is extremely difficult. Too many politics. Short sighted upper managements with no willing to invest on R&D. The dated product can't compete with new cloud based products. 2020 Q1 revenue dropped nearly 50% comparing to 2019 Q4, which leads to the acquisition on hold. Now they are laying off numbers of employees with poor severance package to demonstrate one company value: "everyone matters".

We are incredibly proud of our Tel Aviv roots as well as our other R and D sites across the globe. We are undergoing a significant transformation as we pivot from on-prem to subscription and cloud-based offerings. We have had to make some tough decisions to ensure we have the right skills to deliver on this important technology transformation. We are incredibly proud of the progress we’re making and the diverse make-up of our global teams. I’m sorry Forescout wasn’t a good fit for you and I wish you the best of luck. - Pedro

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.
