Pros

Good company for software guys only

Cons

The support work in Pune does not require CCNP or PMP but still expect such candidates to join their teams. The support profiles in premium team and primary support team are technical support profiles and do not need CCNP or PMP . Most of the guys in premium support team are all talk and have no knowledge at all. The HR is a mere rubber stamp and has no authority.Ruin your career technical support profiles if you join after having CCNP or PMP.Lickers grow in the company be in primary or premium support teams.There is no value for hardworking and dedicated people in the support team. No defined career path at all. The company wants to grow but there is no growth path for support employees. They can fire you at any time . They might ask to do weekend pager( Saturday and Sunday ) for which they don''t pay much and you cannot say no.Personnel life gets ruined. Candidates should request an office tour before confirming to the company so that you can talk to current employees one to one and then take an informed decision. Only CCNA and RHCE certification cost is reimbursed and not tuition fee. CCNP,ITIL,PMP certification cost is not reimbursed even though they expect such candidates to join them(preferred). All the guys working in the Pune support teams have not configured a switchport or vlan or ip address in their experience in this office in the last 5 years but still need CCNP !!!

Pros

* The products are very complex and difficult to master completely, which is a lot of fun for those who enjoy a challenge. * The company employs some of the best technical people in the industry which is both refreshing, helpful, and a little competitive in spirit. * The company has great relationships with some of the best customers in the world. Customers love NetScout products, the NetScout sales team, and the NetScout technical people that work for them every day. * Company leaders value employees (especially technical employees) and has never had a layoff. That doesn't mean that people haven't been let go for cause or shifting priorities. The company simply doesn't do the foolish hire-and-purge dance to appease shareholders. * The company is very, very conservative financially and dead-serious about regulatory compliance and workplace behavior/ethics. Absolutely no shenanigans are tolerated at NetScout. * Good compensation package and benefits.

Cons

* Career advancement is very slow partly due to conservative management posture, and partly due to a flat management hierarchy. These are not bad reasons, but career development and advancement doesn't seem to be an expectation or a priority either. NetScout is not the company for the ambitious.

Pros

Good group of very smart people. The company does care for its employees, and you can see that in the long tenure of most employees. Senior management is very deliberate in guiding the direction of the company, from development through sales. NetScout knows what it wants to be.

Cons

The environment is not necessarily for the entrepreneurial at heart. Although input is accepted and encouraged, the company's entire direction comes strictly from the CEO. The CEO is very smart, and has done well with the company over its history, so things are bad, just don't expect to help drive vision.
