Pros

Nice facilities, parties, & corporate events (they SPEND a lot of shareholders money on nice events).

Cons

Monolithic & subservient management structure built on distrust and no collaboration. All roads begin and end with the Founder/CEO. There has been no systemic growth in NetScout since its founding. It has been a carefully orchestrated, or clumsy, series of acquisitions to prop up top-line revenues, and mask the real narrative of declining growth and value across all segments and markets served. Unfortunately, NetScout bit off more than they could chew when they took on Danaher's Communications platform. I cannot believe that institutional investors continue to hang on. One should carefully evaluate any institutional investor that continues to pour money into NetScout.

Pros

Never lets anyone go... even through numerous acquisitions. A lot of dead weight, is result. Good benefits. Free drinks, good cafe.

Cons

Mgt the worst. CEO RULES. Major ego. No room for growth. Co thinks it’s bigger than it is. Stop buying companies and focus on you core competencies.

Pros

CEO tells us we just scored record profits.

Cons

On the same day CEO tells us we earned record profits while employees are working remotely and safely - the same day Omicron arrived in the US - he told us we had to return to the office Jan 10. Even though Omicron is surging , we still have to go back to the office. No booster requirements, no masking requirements, no distancing. I used to think I worked for a company that cared about its employees. I don't anymore.
