Good Standup Place to Work

Pros

Netscout brings a lot of strong opportunities to the table. There are some great people to work with and draw from experience, there is opportunity to travel around the world. Salaries are respectable, and benefits are fantastic.

Cons

There is not a lot of room for real advancement. This company promotes heavily based on seniority, and this is evident in a lot of the higher level positions held by people whose primary experience is with Netscout. This isn't always a bad thing, they understand the customers and technology very well, but management styles and methods are outdated at best. You won't really have the opportunity to move up in the company unless you work from one of the base offices. If you are a remote employee (and there are a lot of them) get comfortable with your position.

Great Local People

Pros

The people in the San Jose office were exceptional, kind, considerate, and very capable. The work was challenging and they allowed us a lot of freedom in terms of work environment.

Cons

The corporate office in MA was clueless. They had no understanding of the salary differential engineers in the Bay Area command. They're "hub cap chasers", with no long-term vision, as a product mgr once told me.

Inflexible management & inefficient HR (Indian company)

Pros

i have been working for a while in Netscout after merger of Fluke Networks/ Danaher. There is reasonable compensation on a whole.

Cons

- Due to merger, some senior technical personnel tends to keep what they know in case they might lose their job. Little sharing of knowledge. - Management does not like to hear feedback & though they portray they will readily listen. They will "prata" around what they say as this is an Indian company . - Be careful to check your last paycheck as the salary credited may be shortchanged. - Few formal proper training.

Pros

Competitive Salary. Sizeable in its niche industry Still some very hardworking people in the lower ranks.

Cons

Terrible management, unfair ,conspiring and all in the inner circle seem to be working for 30+ years old in this company . Organization structure is built for "Friends" rather than skills. Definite undertone of racism everywhere, sometimes in your face.

smoke and mirrors

Pros

Like most other companies that suck, the only pro next to maybe a handsome salary would be the personal relationships you are able to build with your teammates through (unrecognized) hard work.

Cons

Awful leadership starting with the CEO. Heavy politics and I mean, disturbingly unethical. A company that bandaid fixes. Limited growth opportunities based on who in leadership you are able to schmooze. Lack of accountability is in NetScout leadership's DNA. Those who have positive things to say about NetScout on Glassdoor are the ones who are part of the NetScout players club.

Great place to work if you're in US

Pros

Great technology and products, senior team is very focused on delivering great solutions and make the customer happy. Salary is good and benefits are great.

Cons

Micro management on some level tends to frustrate when working on remote or home offices. Lack of marketing efforts at high level jeopardize the efforts to grow. Company doesn't have a defined channel strategy which prevents the growth on emerging markets.
