Pros

Vacation benefits are good. Base salaries are competitive. The human point story is a decent and different message than most security vendors.

Cons

While the messaging might be good, the execution and delivery is horrid. The products are uninteresting to new customers, and existing customers are apathetic to the direction the company is going and moving away. Late to the game in terms of delivering cloud options and the whole "dynamic edge" push is merely a "me too" play that will lack the features and maturity of other vendors. Many of the products are antiquated and still look and function the way they did a decade ago. Corporate is a complete mess. Turnover is crazy high (layoffs and people fleeing the sinking ship) and new management staff is brought in with little or no security experience or knowledge. Morale is super low and the outlook is bleak. Remote worker benefits were slashed in April and the 401(k) match lowered.

Pros

* Decent salary compensation * Executives are well-dressed * Career opportunities abound given the high employee attrition

Cons

* Benefits are not competitive * Expectations are low, and morale is even lower * It's not a coincidence that Austin-based reviews on Glassdoor are positive while reviews from all other sites are very negative. The leadership and management teams are in Austin while product teams are scattered around the world. The Austin-based leadership team seems to think that they can do things like list "Leadership Qualities!" and distribute leather bound books with a paper thin description of company strategy and get quick buy-in from employees. Satellite offices are disconnected and distrustful of HQ. * The company is marketing and selling a series of hollow ideas that aren’t even backed by smoke and mirrors * Retention is a huge issue - the company is continuously hemorrhaging talent. * Forcepoint financials aren't doing well. My remaining hope for the company is that the executive team is completely restructured in the next year and that Raytheon gets around to making some much-needed, hard strategic decisions

Pros

- employees in other departments

Cons

- below market pay - poor management decisions - managers are incompetent and can't handle stress during busy times so they lash out on staff - accounting department is extremely gossipy, there is zero professionalism - no room for growth and management does not seem to care about employees at all - no work/life balance - you potentially have to work on weekends and sometimes past midnight - very outdated accounting systems - awful benefits - management actually times your 1 hour lunch to the very second
