Pros

Product is ok when it works without any issues

Cons

Lack of direction.. everyone has to be a puppet to the CEO. If you have a different idea or challenge any decision, then you are out.

Thanks for taking time to share your feedback on your experience with NetBrain. We also appreciate your passion for wanting to see the company succeed and recognize that we can always improve! With regards to the product, we just released version 11 and think "ok" is putting it very lightly! The feedback from both inside and outside of NetBrain has been overwhelming with the addition of our Problem Diagnosis Automation System, and our ability to automate the retrofitting of our automation library to customer networks. Regarding the company's direction, we acknowledge that we faced challenges in 2019 and 2020, even early in 2021 as we transformed from a go-to-market that was based on perpetual direct sales with an entirely inside sales team to a true global field sales team with three year subscriptions, ARR and a thriving channel ecosystem. Those challenges don't happen easily, but we've not exceeded our global sales goal for FOUR quarters in a row and we're looking to finish 2022 strong and make it the best year we've ever had! We've made this transition and seen this growth despite a global pandemic, unprecedented inflation and a lot of uncertainty and unrest all over the world. Our CEO told the entire company in March of 2020 during our first virtual company all-hands meeting that his two top priorities were keeping everyone at the company healthy and keeping everyone at the company together. We stood by that and did not have any Covid-related layoffs despite a lot of economic uncertainty and some challenges while navigating the aforementioned organizational changes. All this being said, we know we're not perfect, and we want to continue to get better. Our People eXperience team values your feedback and would welcome any specific ideas about the company can continue to grow and how we can make NetBrain a great place to work. Please don't hesitate to bring any ideas to the PX team, and if you're not sure who is best to field a question or take a suggestion, you can email people@netbraintech.com. Thanks again for the review!

Thanks for reviewing us and providing feedback on your experience over the last 3-4 years here! As a company, we're definitely united in our mission to grow NetBrain and serve our customers in solving problems they struggled to solve previously in their networks. It's a mission that we're passionate about, but we recognize how important time outside of your job is with family, hobbies and other loved one. Work-life balance is extremely important. Yes, many jobs have peaks and valleys and times that get busier than others, but we truly do focus on total wellness, It's great to see that you and others who have reviewed us are able to recognize that. I'd love to offer some insight on your feedback about coding, but I'm sorry to say that I don't have quite enough information to do that. I can tell you that we have a robust Research & Development team that makes up just a shade under 30% of the company and we are always focused on innovating and keeping the product well ahead of any competitors in the market. If you have any more specific feedback, please do share it with leadership. If you feel like your feedback hasn't gotten the attention it needs, reach out to your People Experience Business Partner. The People Experience team is always available to support you and help your messages reach the right channels. Thanks again for the feedback!

Pros

Leadership sets consistently ambitious goals that keep everyone motivated and focused. ;)

Cons

NetBrain talks a big game about innovation and leadership, but my experience was the opposite: bloated management, poor communication, and a culture that felt more focused on appearances than execution. The leadership under the CEO came across as disconnected from employees and customers alike, with constant churn, unrealistic expectations, and little accountability when things went wrong. What’s most disappointing is seeing major firms like Blackstone associated with a company that, from the outside, looks far more polished than it actually operates internally. The product promises efficiency, but the organization itself often felt inefficient, reactive, and overly political. Overall, I would not recommend working with or for this company unless major leadership and cultural changes happen first.
