Unpleasant place to work

Pros

Free lunch friday A lot of good people Pay and benefits are decent

Cons

If you're considering taking a position at NetBrain and are looking to glassdoor for insight into the culture- decline the position. <br><br> There isn't one department that has a majority of happy people. The sales team, for example, is set up for failure by default- the CEO sets pricing strategy with hardly any research, then changes it at whim leaving the account reps to salvage the burned customer relationship. The accounts are constantly be shifted, and with such a lengthy sales process and changing strategy, its impossible to develop trust among clients. <br><br> The R&D/product team is entirely Mandarin speaking, meaning all documentation and all product strategy sessions are in chinese, and speaking with customers hardly ever happens. The product is designed by the CEO with little focus on customer (this is starting to change toward customer focus... perhaps it will stick this time). <br><br> Theres very little employee development here, aside from our sales enablement team who do a decent job with what they're given (constantly changing strategy and messaging). The CEO is also a misogynist, saying things during company-wide meetings like "men go to a good college to get a good job. Women go to a good college to get a good husband," with others following his lead.<br><br> The churn rate is very high, the people are miserable, employee growth and development are negligible. You dont want to work here. <br><br> PS: The recruitment team asks new hires to post positive reviews in the first week... so take those with a grain of salt.<br><br>

Thank you for providing this feedback and taking the time to write this review. We examine every review posted to this site and use the feedback to improve our culture, policies and procedures. We have been experiencing significant growth this year more than any previous year and with this growth trajectory comes challenges. We are transparent that there is much more work to be done on improving our best practices. The growth to our sales department being the most significant, has experienced the most change, however what has remained intact is our culture which we are most proud of. We will continue to monitor feedback closely and respond to changes to constantly improve our culture. Again, thank you for taking the time to write this review and provide feedback, we truly appreciate it.

Could be a good company but not with current leadership

Pros

The product could be great and some of the people here are talented. Free lunch on Fridays. Company could be a big player if they just had the right leadership in place. If you’re a mediocre worker, fall in line and do what you’re told (not questioning management) and have no desires for professional or intellectual growth then you’ll succeed here.

Cons

The CEO talks about going IPO all the time but it isn’t even close. It is not a growing company, it just hires a lot of people to look like it is. Sales is suffering and morale in all of the internal teams is even lower. Each team has its issues: Pre-Sales: This engineering team does all of the work to get a deal done from a technical and sales side, and two of its best just left. Sales: Poor leadership and glorified sales managers, whine and complain, don’t know how to sell and fudge forecast numbers to make them look better than they really are. Customer Support: Horrible history with negative customer satisfaction and close support tickets prior to actually working on them to get metrics. Sales Ops: Runs reports from Salesforce that the Sales team should be required to do themselves and manually creates quotes causing delays. No one knows what else this team does because if anyone asks them to do something that a normal sales ops or sales admin team would do they just stare at you. Services: NetBrain is so desperate and has such poor customer satisfaction that they need to force customers to buy services so that the product can be implemented properly. HR: They’re just kinda there. I feel bad they have to deal with this mess everyday. Legal: They refuse to help do any sales support work and constantly roll their eyes when they’re asked to help any team if it doesn’t sound like something that a legal team would normally do. Finance: Difficult to work with. Negative attitudes and always too busy to take care of responsibilities which are theirs but want others to do. Product Development: The product always breaks and has issues customers wants fixed delaying sales. Just make a better product rather than having to reassign all of development to customer support to fix mistakes in the new release. Marketing: Their efforts bring in no business or value, they don’t work with sales and get a solid message out to the public. You’ll notice a consistent theme looking at the existing glassdoor reviews because this company doesn’t change and the same issues that existed a couple years ago exist now. The company’s CEO fails to evolve and learn from his mistakes and can’t “lower” himself to allow other people who are qualified to lead make decisions and guide the company to where it should be. Save yourself from professional suicide and find a job at a better company, and stear as clear from NetBrain as you can. Those that have joined since this time last year have either left, been fired, or are looking to leave because they almost instantly regret joining and wish they could have stayed where they were or taken a job elsewhere.
