Left OPNET some time back, but they were some of my best years in my life as a software pro. I have never worked in a company like OPNET - really talented people from top to bottom and a core engineering team that was built and promoted based upon nothing but performance. Everywhere else in my work life, I faced politics, except at OPNET.
I have long left but this week has been perhaps the most depressing week I have encountered in a while. I am sad, nostalgic, angry...all at the same time. Most people working there will surely find something quickly and have a nice fat severance as a form of bonus. They deserve it. As for the clueless management and executives, who played the flute while OPNET burned...I hope they meet their karma will full interest.
