Good job security, but short on engineering talent

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, and extreme reluctance to do layoffs. It's hard to get fired from Netscout without seriously screwing up.

Cons

The parent company (in Westford, MA) is not good at retaining engineering talent, so you likely won't be working with "best of the best" engineers or anywhere close. Also, their engineering processes are severely broken to the point of creating a lot of quality issues, extra work, resource waste, and general headache.
