On behalf of Forcepoint’s Global Compliance & Ethics Director we wanted to comment on this post, which indicates some Forcepoint managers sexually harassed their employees and, despite having knowledge of such situations, the company took no corrective action. It is difficult to read such things about Forcepoint. Any such conduct is fundamentally at odds with our values. We expect everyone at Forcepoint to always treat others with dignity and respect. Reports of failures to abide by these standards are vigorously investigated and Forcepoint employees found to have engaged in such behaviors are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination. Moreover, retaliation against anyone who reports such behaviors is similarly unacceptable and subject to disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination. We respect this reviewer's desire for anonymity, but would welcome any information regarding the reported harassment. If the person who made the post to Glassdoor wants, they can anonymously contact Forcepoint’s ethics number (1-866-543-4063) and provide any information they feel comfortable will not compromise their anonymity.

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.
