Pros

Pay is comparable to other vendors in the industry. Benefits are good.

Cons

Next to no true mindshare in the IT space. Technology is aging and products have given up all ground to competitors and open source solutions. No true competitive edge in target markets. Old ideas, old product, old leadership. Not much in the way of career progression.

Pros

Great technology, market leaders in DDoS

Cons

Poor sales compensation, in-fact terrible. No incentive to sell. The CEO thinks that everyone must think it's a privilege to work at the company, when let's face it, if you're in sales, you're there to make money. CEO gets involved in everything and slows/hinders deals. The management below him are all too scared to voice their own opinions and all bow to him, as a result nothing changes.

Clueless. Will make many prosecutors rich.

Pros

None. Might make a good movie about how bad decision making, toxic culture, compromised and broken people, and poor leadership decisions can destroy a company.

Cons

NETSCOUT is like a corporate horror movie. Too much corrupt leadership to advance, too little sincere effort to change. Overrun by bad and broken people, (good people are silenced), failed leadership, some execs married to each other only looking out for themselves, harassment - and other violations, slander, mobbing … Stakeholders should notice. Active mousetraps under employees desks to catch infestation of mice. Should have tried to stop infestation of bad people. Some execs rumored to be senile, enjoy pitting people against each other for fun. Legislators and others watching.

Pros

Some really great professionals to work with. Used to be a great place to work.

Cons

Senior leadership refuses to evolve the business post century with prison like attendance checks and very questionable HR policies regarding remote working (different standards for different teams and employee levels).

Pros

Not much can be said for Pro's

Cons

Completely toxic environment. Senior leadership has double standards, treats others disrespectfully, psychologically abusive at times and promotes a culture of belittling others. Groups are unable to collaborate and as a result the organization is suffering.

QA Engineer Shortage (15 Devs : 2 QA) A high dev-to-QA ratio (7.5:1) leads to: 1. Increased pressure on the QA team, risking burnout. 2.
