If we get acquired, do you think Extreme will run independently? I’ve heard everything from Commscope to Fortinet as buyers. If Commscope I could see us replacing their ruckus product teams and running the show , If Fortinet I could see use getting... — read more 

When did the Salem New Hampshire offices closed?

There’s been quite a bit of rumors going around lately.

Heard layoffs were comming. I had high hopes but am very disappointed in the management. I chose not to believe the reviews that Extreme Networks was synonymous with layoffs and toke a job but what a disappointment. Management seems to be completely... — read more 

What's going on with rumors that we will be seeing some layoffs next quarter? Does anybody know more about this? Should I worry about the coming months or is this just something that people keep talking about when there's no news and it gets out of... — read more 

Mass exodus from marketing to come. The new CMO is very much hated by her own org, even by her cowardly army of VPs. In record time, she has transformed marketing into a highly toxic and unstable environment with zero trust or transparency. It’s got... — read more 

Extreme layed off over 250 people yesterday. Poor leadership, even worse management hires has led to the company losing more than 70% of their stock. Teams that were effected - SE's SALES SD-WAN Team Services Head of LATAM Engineering... — read more 

What to expect for the rest of 2024?

Any idea on how the recent sales decline and leadership changes impact the future of Extreme? Any suspicious on more layoffs?

Lots of people being let go this morning (10/30) across the board. Major RIF. Assume since it’s prior to earnings that they won’t be good.

It appears there has been some layoffs at Extreme. I know more than a few people who have been let go since Friday.

No layoffs coming in April as in previous years?

Is it true we'll be seeing cuts in July?

I have never worked in a company where it is as easy to be fired as here. This place is hire and fire. Do you agree? I know people who got fired for the smallest things.

They sc--w employees over every way possible and then act like we should be grateful to have a job. They lie on the regular and are the definition of incompetent and unprofessional leadership. They make no effort to make sure employees are properly... — read more 

The morale is zero. In the last two months, more of my colleagues have left than in the last two years, either to Cisco or to Juniper,,, anywhere, except that they are no longer here. That won't end well.

Is there such a thing at Extreme Networks? I think it's becoming rather obvious that this leadership has no idea what that means. All they are capable of doing is "fix" ongoing problems with temporary solutions (such as RIFs) and let the underlying... — read more 

I see people who used to work here visit this forum so I figured I might ask. If you were laid off, how hard was it to find a new job? Especially if it happened this year. I'm really worried considering the current economic situation. I don't think... — read more 

When are there going to be more layoffs and what kind of severance can we expect?

Layoffs in multiple groups. Support, marketing and sales to start

Because I sure as hell haven't.

Get rid of all old leadership positions with new younger innovative leaders. Old leadership seems to have a strangle hold on the remainder of the company. From what I’ve heard is that they want to dissolve employees who have long tenure because they... — read more 

What can we expect?

And yet another round of deep cuts at Extreme Networks today. This is over and above from the m—acre last week. Reports suggest engineering has been destroyed to the point of no return. I am beginning to think the current management has never... — read more 

Ed Meyercord has missed quarter after quarter. By company standards, he should have been hit in the last reduction. CEO, Chief Excuse Officer.

4/15/20 Quarterly results are missed quarter after quarter, so regardless of the virus, Extreme was going to miss targets/expectations anyway. There’s always an excuse. Tariffs, supply chain, mergers, growing pains etc. (4/15 11:30am- day... — read more 

Layoffs composing almost all of XMC/NAC/Analytics and GIM development and product management. Literally no sustaining engineers left to support existing customers on enterprise products. Not sure what the roadmap is but right now it seems... — read more 

Just heard about big layoffs today, affecting at least the Salem, NH office. XMC and ExtremeControl NAC teams essentially eliminated.

Approaching 2$/share, will it collapse?

Extreme Networks Leadership Has no clue how to operate a business appropriately. With all the acquisitions they still do not understand how to conduct effective business strategies. They like to hype themselves up but their R&D is horrid. They are... — read more 

More layoffs today at Extreme. That place is a joke.

The layoffs were apparently to free up money to buy Aerohive. Hard to believe any company would leverage employees like that

Just wait until FY 2019 results are announced. Restructuring already announced. Sr VP whacked. Big layoffs coming.

I honestly can’t understand how management thinks that we can move forward by constantly acquiring other companies but leaving everything else stuck in the past. We are working on old technologies that have been outdated for who knows how long. Also... — read more 

Any speculation on who, or when?? Q3 2019??

Not sure what you mean by sketchy practices, but I agree that it's a flimsy base and they keep mortgaging future quarter]s business to meet current revenue targets. It's like kiting checks or operating a ponzi scheme. Eventually, the whole thing... — read more 

Extreme is built on a house of cards that will soon come tumbling down. Sketchy practices designed to inflate revenues will soon expose a fundamentally weak financial picture of stagnant growth and poor sales execution. The recent, sudden departure... — read more
