Pros

I have worked for Nortel, Avaya and now Extreme Networks and love this company. I have been provided the ability to move from being an Engineer into Management with the help of my manager and director. Extreme wants to keep good talent and will assist you in growing your careers. We are kept well informed of products, how the company is doing and where we are going.

Cons

Only one Con and this is was a manager issue. When I was a Senior Engineer I had to travel way too much, nearly every week. This was due to working for a poor manager, when I was moved to a different team the manager was great in allowing me to have a work/life balance. The good thing about Extreme is upper management allowed me to change groups and not just let me quit.

Pros

I didn’t see any positive things working for extreme

Cons

-Horrible management at least in the Brno office. - Nobody really cared what was going on in the team. -No trainings at all, they just threw us in the deep waters straight away. - we did mention many times that we need time and trainings to develop, but no actions were taken. -All of my colleagues left the company as soon as they got another opportunity.

We are sorry to learn that you did not have a satisfying stint while here with Extreme. As an organization we are critically focused on constantly upskilling our employees and it is really unfortunate that you had a different experience and we wish your HRBP was made aware while you were here so that we could have taken necessary and timely action. Thank you for taking time to share this review, we will continue to review our processes and programs periodically and put our best foot forward.
