Pros

At Extreme you are expected to achieve your goals but you will be rewarded for doing so. In the field, you are given great freedom to run your territory and to reach your goals. Other departments such as support, operations, and the executive team provide excellent support if you ask for it. The company is set up to help you be successful. The new executive team is doing a great job internally in terms of strategy and externally in setting market expectations. Extreme is growing, adding talent, and currently on a positive trajectory.

Cons

Extreme competes in a very competitive market so if you are not a top talent willing to put in the effort then you may not be successful.
