Pros

Senior management truly cares for the employees, they are treated with respect and are compensated well.

Cons

Director level employees are stuck in their old ways and push back on nearly everything. Asking for anything has felt like a huge burden on them. If you come from an acquisition, you're in for a ride.

Overrun by incompetent management

Pros

Family-oriented company with good benefits

Cons

Families can be disfunctional. This one certainly is. Back-stabbing, highly politicized climate, where who you know is rewarded, and what you know is looked at with skepticism. Management reneges on written promises when you leave.

Time for Board to step up and do their job!

Pros

Nice facilities, parties, & corporate events (they SPEND a lot of shareholders money on nice events).

Cons

Monolithic & subservient management structure built on distrust and no collaboration. All roads begin and end with the Founder/CEO. There has been no systemic growth in NetScout since its founding. It has been a carefully orchestrated, or clumsy, series of acquisitions to prop up top-line revenues, and mask the real narrative of declining growth and value across all segments and markets served. Unfortunately, NetScout bit off more than they could chew when they took on Danaher's Communications platform. I cannot believe that institutional investors continue to hang on. One should carefully evaluate any institutional investor that continues to pour money into NetScout.

Pros

NETSCOUT can count on a very good and diversified workforce located around the world and working very well together as a team.

Cons

Management does not listen to employees. Upper management makes all strategic and technical product direction decisions without listening to their employees and customers. Upper management and a few people from the inner circle are making all decisions in this company. This is a large company managed like a mom and pop shop.

Losing Direction

Pros

Great benefits. Competitive salary. Good technology CEO has good vision

Cons

Company has gotten too big with multiple layers of management. The top of the company is isolated from the workers. Company is stuck between waterfall and agile methodologies and is not doing either well. Work/life balance can be really bad. Middle management doesn't necessarily have the workers best interest at heart.
