Netcracker Technology reviews

I found the culture at NetCracker to be toxic and depressing. There was little to no interaction among employees, and zero social interaction, unless you were one of the many people brought into headquarters from Russia to replace an American employee. Information was treated like a scarce commodity, and only shared with others rarely and when absolutely necessary, with lots of closed door meetings and whispered conversations. The Russian culture at this company was pervasive, and they treated all employees as if you should be thankful to even have the opportunity to work there, which just feels like a terrible management approach if you are hiring anyone other than Russian students with no other options, which seem to make up the bulk of the employee base. In short, in all the time I worked there, I woke up every single day I worked there dreading going to work. Maybe this was just a horrible fit for me, but I've worked at lots of places with lots of cultures without issue, and this was the first time I could not find a way to be happy and productive. I met one or two good people in my time at NetCracker, but most of my co-workers were so scared of making a mistake and getting canned that they were impossible to connect with. Work-life balance was non-existent and appeared to be of no concern to the company.

The everyday activities can be rather challenging and demand acquisition of new skills. To achieve success in NetCracker, one should be really pro-active and motivated. But actually what is cons for one sort of people, is pros for others.
