Pros

Large and growing market Strong, compact, complementary product porftolio Strong global band - although only around web filtering Large customer base

Kontras

Top heavy compensation (2 additional levels of VP added in sales in last 2 years with flat growth, why do they need a president and a COO each at north of $500k per year total comp) Rampant Politics Micromanagement at officer level (even relatively minor decisions must be approved at highest level by only 2 people) Flaky executive recruitment has resulted in repeated hires and fires at VP level Uncompetitive compensation below executive level Low employee morale Weak sales execution Now competing against huge cmopmetitors, no longer big player in market, risk of being squeezed out competely over long term

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.

Pros

Remote friendly. Good culture depending on the team.

Kontras

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.
