Pros

If you looking for one of the best companies which offers work life balance, Extreme Networks is the first choice.

Cons

Unfortunately expect massive layoffs, entire teams get laid off, bad communication from the leadership and complete lack of direction. Every year they cut countless jobs.

Extreme Networks Response

We are proud of how we have pivoted in our go-to market strategy and steps that we continue to take for a fulfilling FY25 and beyond for our customers and employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

It has been for me more than 1 and half years in extreme and its being very much privileged to work with extreme networks. The best part is we have good technology like cloud and latest products in pipeline which is currently in progress. 2nd best part is we have very good Director and Manager who are very much approachable and always there for any guidance or support in terms of work or carrier. here we have freedom to explore our Testing Ideas.so i can say the best place to work is Extreme Networks.

Cons

Pantry service if resumed in office would be appreciated. Probably due to Hybrid work style might be the reason not to start the service.

Extreme Networks Response

We are excited to read through your review. We will continue to enable best in class working atmosphere and learning environment for everyone at Extreme.

Pros

Solution is best in the business

Cons

Top heavy company. Claim to be a family but no one is willing to help anyone else. Lack of guidance and strategy from management (If you ever even get to see or speak to them) Toxic management on the back of that. Zero culture. As said above, any ideas are swatted away by management as they feel threatened that the idea was not their own. On the flip side if the idea isn't credible you're made to feel stupid and insignificant.

Extreme Networks Response

Thank you for taking out time to review us on Glassdoor. We strive to provide a best in class employee experience and will continue to look for ways to improve.
