Arbor Networks is a Dinosaur - Anonymous employee Arbor Networks Employee Review

Senior management is too busy resting on their laurels to effect any real change and improvement in the culture or products that are desperately needed to not fade into obscurity in the space. Haphazard approach to entering new product markets, fear of promoting good people that aren't yes men, putting an incompetent sales engineer in charge of the security team and promoting an average sales engineer as CTO (AFTER forcing out a CTO who brought a fresh perspective and ideas to a stale business) to avoid hiring qualified person(s) that would expose the mismanagement and cluelessness present are just a few of the numerous systemic problems present. Steadily driving all talent out of the engineering and security teams to avoid admitting mistakes made by senior management or giving deserved promotions that would mean fewer yes men in positions of power. Three years of minimal- to no-raises company-wide due to poor NETSCOUT performance, despite record Arbor performance is disheartening and unfair to all employees - tock that has a 5-6 yr maturity rate and is constantly declining in value is not an acceptable substitute.
