Business Outlook

Pros

Leadership (CEO and CRO) are very good. Treat employees with respect and appreciation. Both are seasoned, but energetic and fair. Engineering leadership on the sales side, also very good, industrious and hardworking. Doing the best with what they have to work with in terms of financial flexibility. Benefits, Pay and Culture are all very good. Sales Enablement is pretty good. - Benefits (Healthcare/Dental/Vision) are very good overall. Inclusiveness is part of the culture. Pay is very good.

Cons

The company has a very slow path to certifications for products. This doesn't matter as much in the commercial sector, but in the MoD/DoD/Financial/SP space, it is critical. Need to 'secure' all products and validate with certification. CFO/PLM tend to squeeze the nickel until the buffalo screams on product investment. Limited profits to fund enhancements. Use Flex time off, not vacation PTO. It's up to managers to give you time off. 401k match is $3300 USD - not very competitive.

Extreme Networks Response

We appreciate your feedback. We hope you have been able to share your insights and challenges with your management team or the product leadership team. If so, we hope you understand the decisions made with regards to the product roadmap.
