  • What makes you most happy at work?

Constructive Feedback From NETSCOUT Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Compensation should keep up with inflation trends in the economy.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    After 8+ years of exceeding expectations, I've never been promoted here. I've always been told it is organization related, and have never been told it is performance related.
  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    Being a data company we really lag behind in using the position to our advantage, maybe already too late. There are arbitrary rules - 'back to office every day'. Salary not growing for years while inflation is rampant. Offices and positions outside the US basically don't matter / exist.
