Pros

Supportive Team Culture: The people at NetBrain are genuinely collaborative and dedicated. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie, and colleagues are always willing to assist each other. • Innovative Product Vision: NetBrain’s approach to network automation is forward-thinking, aiming to address complex challenges in network operations. • Learning Opportunities: The complexity of the product offers a steep learning curve, which can be intellectually stimulating for those eager to deepen their technical knowledge. • Flexible Work Environment: The company offers flexibility in work arrangements, accommodating remote work and promoting work-life balance.

Cons

Product Maturity: While the vision is commendable, the product feels like a “nice-to-have” rather than a “must-have” for many clients. It’s not fully baked, leading to challenges in demonstrating immediate value. • Resource Constraints: As a smaller company, NetBrain has limited resources, which can impact product development, marketing, and sales support. • Complexity and Usability: The product is intricate and can be difficult for both sales reps and clients to grasp. This complexity extends the sales cycle and can hinder adoption. • Long Sales Cycles: Due to the product’s complexity and the niche market, sales cycles are prolonged, requiring significant effort in prospecting and client education.

Thanks for your feedback and we appreciate the detailed and constructive critique! I don't think there's anything I could add to your notes about our supportive culture, flexibility and innovation, but they're attributes that sincerely mean a lot to us. Thanks for recognizing that! It's always great to understand perceived "cons" as well in order for us to continue to improve. Years ago, we definitely dealt with a lot of the "nice to have" vs "must have" feedback, but as networking has gotten more and more complex for large enterprises, NetBrain is firmly in the "must-have" column. I see this was written by a former employee. I'm not sure how long ago you left, but it's true that we dealt with issues of complexity with the product, but in recent releases we've gone to great lengths to simplify the use of NetBrain, and we've also invested tremendously in training and education for our customers. The feedback has been tremendous. One of the very best things about NetBrain is that we're always investing in the product. Roughly 1/3 of our employee population is part of R&D and we're never content to sit back with a product that is great right now. We're always looking for what is next. We're proud of the strides we've made, but recognize that we've still only scratched the surface with what our platform can become. As far as marketing is concerned, we brought in a CMO in 2024 who has done amazing work to level up the department. Our last month was the best month we've had in terms of pipeline creation. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback. We will continue to work hard to improve and grow!

Thanks for taking time to share feedback on your experience at NetBrain! Yes, the product is unlike anything in the market and helping our enterprise customers to solve crucial network problems in ways that no product has ever been able to before. We recognize that like everyone else, we can find ways to improve and that is why your feedback is important. Leadership style isn't necessarily one-size-fits-all, but we've had some great results recently and big wins for the company with lots of six and seven figure new logo deals and upsells. We're always looking for ways to increase our velocity to the market and make sure that our customers are getting the most value out of NetBrain. In the future, if you do have anything specific that you've shared with sales leadership and haven't seen progress, or aren't comfortable sharing it with sales leadership, your People Team Business Partner can be a great resource. Whether it's helping you to have some of these conversations, or in some cases taking conversations to them directly, we're all hoping for the same result. Collaboration is going to be essential in how we accomplish our goals. Thanks again for your feedback. Please don't hesitate to share constructive feedback and let's keep winning!

Thanks for your feedback! Company culture is incredibly important to us. Hiring top performers is important, but it comes secondary to being comfortable being ourselves around the people we work with. So yes, we look for capable, innovative and intelligent, but we need to have people who are collaborative, empathetic and as you put it, "nice", as well! Opportunities for growth are an important part of any company culture and our People Team has done a great job over the past couple of years building job architectures so that people have a roadmap for their professional development. Another thing that NetBrain does well is flexibility. Almost all of our employees are remote or hybrid with at least some days working from home. NetBrain expects people to be professional and accountable for their responsibilities, but with that comes the ability to take care of your family and your own physical and mental well-being. Our CEO and Founder, Lingping Gao, has always preached self-care and physical well-being. I've heard many employees reference times where they may put in some extra time as needed, but that they also have times where they're able to log off and step away to go for a walk or take a kid to a practice or doctors appointment as needed during business hours. All-in-all, the hours should balance themselves out as work-life balance and self-care are extremely important. If you feel like the work-life seesaw has a large boulder sitting on the work side, please don't keep it to yourself! Talk to your manager for tips on strategies for how you can budget time to stay on top of your tasks without needing to consistently work extra time to accomplish that. If they're unable to help or unable to redistribute any work, talk to the People Team Business Partner who also may be able to provide insight on prioritization, strategies for productivity and efficiency, and if all else fails and the workload is just too big, they can work with hiring managers and department leadership to find a solution. Thanks again for your feedback!
