Beware: Do NOT Work Here

Operations

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Everyone in the company is a liar. Bait and switch when they hire you in (change the job on you), mass exodus of people leaving. Product is sub par and always has issues, even the customers are jumping ship. I would not recommend this company to my worse enemy, it just is not worth it.

Forcepoint Response

Thank you for your honest feedback. I am sorry your time here with us has not been a positive experience. It is important for hires to know what the job is when they are hired and we can take that feedback back to our hiring teams. We are sorry that wasn’t your experience. We encourage you to share more by reaching out to feedback@forcepoint.com

Hostile Work Environment - Burning & Sinking Ship - Run Away

Sales engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get a paycheck every two week and 5 week PTO when you start.

Cons

SE management has no experience and does not want to build teams for success, They are constantly tearing down teams and chasing people due to the Hostile work environment created by the US SE Management team. This SE management team is fearful and vindictive of anyone trying to help improve the problems. There is a complete lack of support for their products and no concern for supporting the customers they have.
