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