Pros

Generous PTO oh, if you can take it without falling behind. Some hard-working individual contributors just trying to do a good job. A 5% match on your 401k, which only gets distributed at the first of every year. You get to put Raytheon on your resume with an asterisk.

Cons

There are too many to name but let me just leave you with one thing. Cyber security as an industry is growing at an explosive pace. This company just had to lay off a good portion of the workforce. that should tell you everything you need to know about how grossly mismanaged this company is. We had to rebrand three times in the two years I was there. They brought in several external agencies to do most of the work but since the people watching the agencies were incompetent comma the real work fell on employees that had no insight to what was going on 4 months prior. This might be normal for all companies but it's truly astounding how bureaucratic this company is and the level of undermining that I experienced.

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.
