Pros

There's always a handful of truly great people at every bad company. Grateful to have met a few during the year and a half I worked here.

Cons

So much of me wants to write a 1000 words here on everything wrong that I encountered/witnessed during the 1.5 years I was employed at Netcracker. I won't do that. I will say that I am truly disappointed. Not in the company, but in myself. I should have spent more time on culture-related questions in the interview. I should have known sooner this company fears change instead of cultivating it. I should have not wasted 1.5 years of my professional career working here. I should have left a lot sooner. But I didn't leave on my own. In fact, I was laid off (non-performance). This comes 3 weeks after I received my bonus and a salary increase for my performance the year prior. Nice, right? This is not a company I recommend. This is a company I regret. Don't make the same mistake I did. Keep looking.

Pros

There are an abundance of talented employees at NetCracker. The pay and benefits are really good as well.

Cons

Lack of transparency in job expectations and reviews. This was quite possibly the worst place I have worked. I was not treated with respect and was expected be more of a personal assistant than an expert in my job. There were no documented policies and procedures and things were expected and never communicated. I met some great people at this company but overall it was a mistake ever taking the job.

Netcracker works very hard to provide a productive and respectful environment in which our employees can thrive. It is disappointing to hear that your work experience was not positive, but encouraging to hear that through this experience you met some great people. We do wish you the best of luck in the future and hope that your next opportunity is a better match for you.

It's a top-down shop.

Pros

The company pays well and, when you first join, there's a feeling that the company is growing fast, so you tend to overlook the general lack of organization and, instead, are told to focus on modeling your behavior after all the motivated employees you meet. The company has a large pool of recurring revenue customers, so there's financial stability.

Cons

Read other reviews and you'll see a very us vs. them dynamic between the Russian workforce and the rest of the company. Communication between departments is poor and, generally, adversarial. The CEO and senior managers stay hidden (they're not even listed on the website and you rarely see interviews in the press). No one knows who is on the board of directors. The top managers make all the decisions based on loyalty to the CEO and little else. Most of the internal communication is done by a single 40-50 page newsletter that circulated as an emailed PDF, once per quarter. In 2015, the company allegedly used Russian employees without security clearances on a Defense Dept. contract. (Source: Google "Netcracker" and "defense department" and you'll see the scandal.) There's been no change in leadership at the top of the company in several years.
