Current Employee – been working at NetApp for more than 7 years

ProsThe people are supportive of one another.
The management team is innovative..
NetApp has the speed and innovation of a start-up with the stability of a corporate powerhouse.

ConsThe approach of a single system that does everything seems to be losing to the specialized systems.
Lately, there are so many changes that it is hard to build strong forward momentum.
Company moral has slipped lately.

Advice to Senior ManagementClearly define the overall direction of the company so that all the micro-changes make some sense.

Sunnyvale, CA

Current Employee – been working at NetApp full-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat people, culture, products, excellent campus, cafe and gym.

ConsPolitics, process driven and unfocused. Inexperienced program and product managers

Advice to Senior ManagementCut the dead wood and not the people that actually do work. HR needs to punish managers that do not consultant existing employees when doing new hire interviews or fail to do yearly focals. No one likes the smaller cubicles being rolled out in Sunnyvale.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
