Pros

Work with terrific people across all roles and geographies. Very flexible work environment overall with work from home or in the office as you see fit... Pretty good benefits overall. They have some truly differentiating technology too....

Cons

.....however, there is very little agreement within the company on how to leverage this differentiation in the marketplace. Lots of work "silos" happening with no clear direction, or strategy. The merge of Enterasys and Extreme has been more of a collision than an integration and corporate culture has suffered greatly with lots of great people leaving because of this. There is currently no clear direction or identity for the company. Just laid off 18% of the company with others leaving on their own. Very gloomy feeling within the company right now overall.

Unstable Company with no direction

Pros

free coffee, and i will continue to type because i have to write at least 5 words for the Pros section

Cons

no direction, no road-map, no cost of living or merit raises unless you're at a VP level. The company is all about maximizing the board member's profits, and that would be ok if they knew what they were doing. Their stock has been decreasing for 14 years and they don't seem to realize that something is wrong. in the last 2 years they bought a company and ran their product line to the ground. and in that time had three massive lay-offs. Not a company i recommend if you are looking for security and growth. Every day there is talk about someone leaving
