Good times don’t last forever

Pros

Good product with lots of promise and lots of opportunities to work with exciting companies and new technologies. Many smart, hard working people that want the company to succeed.

Cons

Opportunities come to a select few ‘chosen’ ones, where you’ll be given a lot of chances and feel like your voice is being heard at first, but in reality you’re being asked to put the CEO’s incoherent thoughts into something meaningful. Company is stuck in the same repeating cycle year after year, scratching programs that don’t yield immediate results, only to rehash them 6 months later. Except each time it has a fancy new name with the same lack of direction. Company is so out of touch with the ever changing IT landscape and insists on telling customers how they should be managing their network as opposed to adapting with the times and providing a product that is meaningful (the software could do this if they focused where they should). Morale is very low and all of the top talent has left or will leave soon. This will open up chances for some people until they either get frustrated, burnt out, or tired of the broken cycle of monotonous work and projects that lead to nowhere.

We appreciate and value your detailed feedback! It's great to hear that you enjoyed some great opportunities and our many great people during your time here at NetBrain. Growing a company through large transitions can be a difficult thing to do, but we believe that we have the talent to get to where we want to go. Over the past two years, we've switched from perpetual sales to subscription, we've built a field sales organization and we started an EMEA sales organization. Those are just a few of examples of massive changes that are necessary for our success and take time to put into place. That being said, we remain committed to the direction and plans of our sales leadership and even in a year where customer budgets have been ravaged by Covid-19, we're still on track to end the year with our highest revenue number ever! When all is said and done we will have achieved that on the strength of great people and a product that has never been more relevant than it is right now. Our sales team continues to close deals with large enterprises who see immense value in the way we're able to help them transform network operations. Thank you for taking the time to review us. We're working to get better every day and feedback from our people helps!

Pros

Interesting technology offering, there are some good people who work here.

Cons

Terribly managed, devoid of repeatable processes, fly by seat of pants approach to running business.

Thanks for your feedback. We think are offering is not only interesting, but category changing in the network automation space. I would also contend that we have a lot of great people, but we still appreciate your acknowledgement that there are "some good" ones :-) We're committed to our goal of company growth, and we've stood by that goal as we haven't laid any employees off due to Covid. Our senior leadership team has made their decisions in 2020 (and before) with lots of thought and consideration of our company goals. We believe we're in a prime position with the right people to make our future a bright and prosperous one. Thanks again for taking the time to review and if there are any specific ideas on how we can make NetBrain even better, I encourage you to share them with your manager and/or the HR team, as they're always available to help in any way they can.

Pros

Free lunches every Friday, Product is very good.

Cons

Management has no sales strategy, middle management runs all sales calls off of scripts rather than customer information. People constantly coming and going...good management always leave due to bad management practices.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and thanks for pointing out what a great product NetBrain is! We're coming into a very exciting period in our company history as Network Automation becomes more and more of a must-have for large enterprises. As the industry trends have evolved, so have we! Our sales organization has seen some recent changes that we believe are necessary in order for us to achieve our growth goals. We're excited to still be hiring even in these challenging times and we're thrilled that we've been able to bring on some great talent. There's never been a better time to be selling the market's leading Network Automation platform and we're very excited for what's ahead. Thanks again for your feedback. Every bit is helpful!
