NETSCOUT reviews about "people"

innovation is lacking and strategy to grow is based on historical OG

Growing pains from multiple mergers

Sometimes a little non structured and need some process and accountibility

NTCT is led by the founder for 40 years now. No one can tell him his 'baby is ugly' -- everything that's wrong is sales, the marketplace, the customers, or something else - yet the company does not innovate because they are paralyzed to act unless the CEO say yes or no -- and he changes his mind constantly. Product rationalization is basically done on a whim -- there is no market analysis, no true product lifecycle product management, and no rationale behind decisions other than simply, 'it's what the CEO thinks." Company hides behind an idea - even a book - that falsely states NTCT culture is amazing and friendly. Reality is its only as nice as the CEO - and he's wishy washy, flailing about indecisive, delaying everything because his answer to all problems "only I can fix it." HR is not pro-employee -- they are a part of the cult drinking the kool-aid. The only significant growth in the company's history has been via mergers and acquisitions -- not organic innovation. Product is old, and innovation is simply repackaging and slapping new labels on the same product and calling it a $50M idea. The senior management is very old and no exciting or motivating succession plans exist. No raises. No promotions. Stock is given based upon company performance. They like to brag about compensation for employees but vs industry averages they are way below.

Follow US calendar for financial close, which means at times at month have to compromise bank holidays and work on UK bank holiday, No formal work performance evaluation and appraisal process. No clear career growth opportunities.

none that i can think of - marketing could do a better job but then i can say the same for most vendors.
