Pros

There isn’t any pro to work in sales here.

Cons

Where to start?? The company just decided to cut between $50K-$75K pay from every sales rep. Along with cutting pay they decided to pull many accounts from each rep to lower the total accounts each rep has to make quota. The company has decided to change from perpetual license to term and charge 3X the cost for term license. There isn’t a presidents club because they view sales reps as peasants and as the CEO puts it we’re all failures if we don’t close an account in one year. There is zero growth potential as the company never promotes from within. The company is owned and operated by two people with zero sales experience who haven’t a clue as to how to build, run, and incentivize their sales staff. Every year things change and not for the better because the CEO is stubborn and unwilling to make changes that will only positively impact the company. He won’t allow channel sales. His new sales strategy is Blue Ocean selling?? This means we have no competition in his mind. He seems to forget about solarwinds, live action, extrahop because the difference is they are all real sales ORG’s. Unless you enjoy changes every 2-5 months I suggest you look elsewhere for a job. FYI- the 8 positive reviews since Jan 1st are fake news because no one in the company has been positive since then due to the dramatic changes that have been implemented.

Thank you for the time you took to write this review. Feedback such as this is valuable as we continue to make necessary improvements to our population and culture. The changes to our sales organization is a work in progress and will take a bit of time to adjust, however, we feel it is in the best nature for the business to make necessary improvements to compensation structures which, contrary to what you are stating is actually better for our employees compensation. Also, one thing to note, every single review on our profile is a genuine review and no review is considered fake both positive and negative. With every company with as much growth as we are experiencing, there are bumps in the road and we feel this is healthy and we are surpassing our goals and targets. Nevertheless, we appreciate your comments and value your advice and wish you the best of luck with your next role.

Thanks for reviewing us and providing feedback on your experience over the last 3-4 years here! As a company, we're definitely united in our mission to grow NetBrain and serve our customers in solving problems they struggled to solve previously in their networks. It's a mission that we're passionate about, but we recognize how important time outside of your job is with family, hobbies and other loved one. Work-life balance is extremely important. Yes, many jobs have peaks and valleys and times that get busier than others, but we truly do focus on total wellness, It's great to see that you and others who have reviewed us are able to recognize that. I'd love to offer some insight on your feedback about coding, but I'm sorry to say that I don't have quite enough information to do that. I can tell you that we have a robust Research & Development team that makes up just a shade under 30% of the company and we are always focused on innovating and keeping the product well ahead of any competitors in the market. If you have any more specific feedback, please do share it with leadership. If you feel like your feedback hasn't gotten the attention it needs, reach out to your People Experience Business Partner. The People Experience team is always available to support you and help your messages reach the right channels. Thanks again for the feedback!

Pros

Leadership sets consistently ambitious goals that keep everyone motivated and focused. ;)

Cons

NetBrain talks a big game about innovation and leadership, but my experience was the opposite: bloated management, poor communication, and a culture that felt more focused on appearances than execution. The leadership under the CEO came across as disconnected from employees and customers alike, with constant churn, unrealistic expectations, and little accountability when things went wrong. What’s most disappointing is seeing major firms like Blackstone associated with a company that, from the outside, looks far more polished than it actually operates internally. The product promises efficiency, but the organization itself often felt inefficient, reactive, and overly political. Overall, I would not recommend working with or for this company unless major leadership and cultural changes happen first.
