Great place to be right now

Pros

I have to say that I've been at this company for over a decade now and now is the time to be here. We have some great leadership that is figuring out the right way to go. The technology is innovating at a decent pace and people are willing to listen. I'm definitely happy to be here right now. I can't express how great it is to have a CEO that is full embracing diversity and inclusion. My spouse works for a company that claims to be including, but when I tell them about what we're doing, they're shocked at how much work has been done.

Cons

As with any decent sized company, there are certain silos where people have god complexes. These are luckily getting fewer and knocked down though.

There are two cultures at this company

Business Outlook

Pros

The non finance side seems to be laid back and the CEO seems to believe in treating employees well. Some of the people are friendly.

Cons

The finance side under CFO Remy is utterly toxic and awful. He treats management like trash and they in turn treat their reports the same way. The saying attitude reflects leadership applies here. Onboarding is non existent. No work/life balance. When I left employees had not received raises in two years because the company couldn't afford it. There is constant threat of layoff due to new acquisitions and restructuring. When the company has a bad quarter they lay off hundreds of people to make up for it.

Thank you for providing us your feedback. We are building a feedback culture and hope that it allows employees to voice their concerns in a safe and helpful way. It's an on-going effort. Many of our leaders encourage feedback and Remi is one of them. It sounds like you didn't have an avenue to share your concerns while employed with us. Again, it's an on-going effort. We are pleased to hear from many current employees who feel the company's culture and direction is going in a positive direction.

Thank you for taking time to review us on Glassdoor. Yes our focus on technology is our forte and our employees celebrate this opportunity to work on array of technologies here at Extreme. Coming to your remark on inorganic growth, as an organization focused on technology innovation and customer centricity, we do not miss any opportunity to grow inorganic or otherwise.
