Pros

We came in as part of the Arbor acquisition which initially was great and had the most amazing culture (because of direct team mates), that quickly vanished when the integration started. Great place if you are just wanting to skate by, get paid OK and bide your time (which a lot of folks are doing) Healthcare and 401k match is great CEO is nice

Cons

Trying to grow organically and with greenfield accounts but can't so just flipping existing accounts and selling to the carrier space over and over. A lot of old school people and managers that have no idea how the industry has changed or what actual cybersecurity means. My boss after many many years still admitted he had no idea of my job role nor even the expense reimbursement process. There is an air of entitlement with the Netscout culture, they look down upon everyone else and act like everyone owes them. HR is aware of this and does nothing, they were worthless. Heck even during the sales kick offs, one of the EVPs did a presentation comparing the President to an orangutan. HR obviously didn't care nor did other executives because it happened the next year also (2 years in a row!) If any employee said that about any peer or any other sex.........wow No rewards for thinking outside of the box or creating your own business practices Slow growth expectations which will ultimately just have them fade off quietly and take all the old guard with them. Had one of the nicest managers of my career but also utterly the most worthless as no one would back their employees, self preservation ruled
