The company has dismantled my career. I've veen shown little respect and I don't think I am valued beyond my direct manager. I've watched the best people driven away, seen proactive approaches replaced with reactive, and seen the executive team blame others for the negative outcomes of their choices

The company spent the last few years dismantling my role, my career, and my ability to make the company better. As far as we're told, the company is struggling, and a LOT of that is due to the Executive team. For whatever reason, they are blind to this. It's kind of bizarre.

Lower management sticking their neck out to protect their employees from the distractions created by upper management.

The ability of pockets of people to maintain a culture that values employees, their time, their work, and their input DESPITE the fact that as a company, NETSCOUT does not value these things.

I feel deeply undervalued. Pay increases that keep pace with inflation would make a difference. Meeting industry pay standards would help. As it stands, many stay here because it's easier than changing jobs

Everyone is willing to chip in whenever help is needed so we can complete the most important work in a timely fashion. Attitude remains good even in the face of bad corporate level decisions.

Stop placing blame on the employees for problems stemming from bad leadership decisions. Stop instituing restrictive policy aimed at employees when theu aren't the root cause of the problem. Trust the people to do their jobs.

They continue to maintain a positive attitude, deliver amazing output, and work as a team to support one another even when faced with stale pay rates, no promotions, failures to backfill, and an outdated work from home policy.

They are able to deliver top quality, dedicated work despite the failure of the Executive team to give them a reason to. Blocking out the noise and staying focused on doing amazing work isn't easy, but they do it.

See my other comments. Failure to increase pay. Failure to backfill. Failure to promote. Failure to hire at all. Failure to trust. Failure to lead. It's a little bit shocking that the executive team can't see what is happening.

Trust their employees. Focus on people over profit. Know when it is time to step away and allow someone else's vision to lead. Accept that our biggest problems are coming down from the top - humility, insight, and personal responsibility.

NETSCOUT fails to keep up with the cost of living. Every year that my salary stays the same and the cost of living rises, it's effectively a pay cut. 7% increase to cost of living? That's a 7% pay cut for me.

Better compensation. We get paid less than others in similar roles at different companies. Our annual pay increases either don't exist or don't keep up with the cost of living. The net result is an effective "pay cut" year over year. This has to change.

Please see my previous comments. Stale pay rates in the faces of rising cost of living, loss of tools managers can use to keep the team engaged and rewarded, inability to promote, overly involved upper management hindering efficiency and effectiveness, outdated views on remove work.

The executive team have stopped listening to their employees. Employees don't feel safe telling anyone the real problems or asking real questions. The executive and upper management decisions have created a culture of "it's easier to stay than leave." They need to adopt humility, listen, and change

It's the culture that the team builds for themselves. With the support of my own manager, we make NETSCOUT a place where we don't mind coming in to work each day. NETSCOUT itself has offered little positive improvement of culture or environment - the opposite in most cases.

If your employees kept you in business working from home during COVID while simultaneously washing groceries and sewing masks and helping kids succeed at online school, you can trust them to do their jobs from home today. Failure to delegate and lack of autonomy adds inefficiencies and slows work.
