Pros

I didn’t see any positive things working for extreme

Cons

-Horrible management at least in the Brno office. - Nobody really cared what was going on in the team. -No trainings at all, they just threw us in the deep waters straight away. - we did mention many times that we need time and trainings to develop, but no actions were taken. -All of my colleagues left the company as soon as they got another opportunity.

We are sorry to learn that you did not have a satisfying stint while here with Extreme. As an organization we are critically focused on constantly upskilling our employees and it is really unfortunate that you had a different experience and we wish your HRBP was made aware while you were here so that we could have taken necessary and timely action. Thank you for taking time to share this review, we will continue to review our processes and programs periodically and put our best foot forward.

Sorry to see that you are unhappy with Extreme. We are not clear on what you mean by lay-offs as that is a thing of the past. We are breaking many company records and looking forward to breaking many more. We recommend you speak with your line leadership / HRBP to discuss and clarify any doubts or questions you may have about Extreme.
