NetApp Reviews

Former Employee – worked at NetApp full-time for more than a year

Pros – NetApp provides you with the salary, benefits, etc. so that you can give your 100% to your work. Most employees don't find micromanagement to be a problem, and there's definitely work / life flexibility to be had...IF you can get the job done in 40 hours.

Cons – Marketing management was extremely politicized and unproductive in 2010-2011. A lot of reorg happened so it might be a different story today.

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

Pros – There's truth to NetApp's commitment to being one of the best places to work. It's up to you to make the work/life balance.

Cons – The manager sets the tone for the group in terms of culture and work/life balance. So hope you get a good manager. They also recently had a RIF.

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

Pros – Great people, culture, products, excellent campus, cafe and gym.

Cons – Politics, process driven and unfocused. Inexperienced program and product managers

Advice to Senior Management – Cut 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.
