Pros

Absolutely none- at all. Terrible, terrible work environment.

Cons

Absolutely terrible management, no benefits, make promises during hiring process and then take them all away once you begin working for them. No work life balance at ALL. Expect you to eat, live and breath their terrible company culture. Not flexible with families or persons commuting- even when they advertise they are. No support from very beginning- took almost 3 months to get a company phone and was expected to pay for my own long distance company calls from my personal number- w/o reimbursement for all 3 months. First day (second day on job) met our Executive and he took me to lunch- ordered his food first then paid for his- and his only. No direction, yet expected to perform miracles in seconds. Screaming boss, demeaning, unsupportive. Filed a harassment suit w/ HR against a co-worker my SECOND week- only to have it backfire on me and make my life an absolute living hell for the remainder of the time I was employed. No way Boston office is able to stay afloat with their incredibly poor direction and management styles. Won’t spend a dime on employees- even for standard daily operating procedures- yet will shell out THOUSANDS on junk for CEO & Executives. Hope no one has to ever go through the daily torture I had to endure while working here.

Pros

To see the evolution of Forcepoint over the last few years has been impressive. We continue to grow and invest in our company and people. I feel as if I make an impact in the company and always feel appreciated. Forcepoint is a great place to excel. Our CEO personally cares about the success of the people and company.

Cons

Fast paced environment, strategy changes as the market changes. fun but can be hard for some.

Pros

Remote friendly. Good culture depending on the team.

Cons

I am making $185k total comp as a basic Marketing Manager. Not even a 'Senior' Manager, but just your basic peasant-class Manager. How can I be making as much money (or more) than some of the Forcepoint staff lawyers, more money than some junior-level medical doctors, but my job title is equivalent to that of some recent college grad? This matters because my job is Director-level in everything but title only. All my KPI's, performance reviews, and work, is at the Director level. But because I am a basic manager, some of my peers treat me as if I am 23 years old making $70k/yr with bare bones KPI's. This creates an awkward situation because I am paid more than many colleagues who have more senior job titles than me. But since we do not openly discuss salary, my peers do not know this and think my KPI's are basic, when really I have much higher KPIs than colleagues with more senior job titles It is silly that some peers are making 20-30% less than me, but have more senior job titles just because of tenure - which is a meaningless indicator of performance.
