Leadership Needs to be Overhauled

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Enthusiastic, competent, dedicated field Sales ( AE) and Technical (SE) personnel

Cons

Executive leadership is completely clueless. To many high- level execs act like Extreme is Cisco, and refuse to master the detail required to fundamentally understand how to position Extreme to succeed within this piece of the networking landscape. Instead there is the annual "realignment" in sales, which results in layoffs, restructuring and that ultimately, drives out the top performing AE's. One specific executive ( CRO ) makes decisions without understanding or caring about their impact. Consequently quotas are unrealistic, field turnover is high and morale is abysmal. He has played a significant role in destroying both the culture and spirit of this company.

Takes care of employees. Competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Technology direction just follows competitors. Acquisition is main strategy. Not sure integration strategy is good enough.
