Pros

NetApp stays a good company, but it is in constant transformation. The main advantages are the salary, the flexibility, and tools available to execute your role and progress. The NetApp products are also amazing, especially on the AI and Cyber Security segments, which are key for the future.

Cons

Colleagues are being let go regularly without explanation (high performers = high salaries). Leaders have a vision completely misaligned with the field. They also don't listen to input on strategies that could make a difference. HR are not taking side with the employees, they are seeking methods to layoff with less efforts (and costs). Yearly rating process is not fair: managers are not saying the final words about their own team members; employees are compared in entire organisations without consideration for their specific tasks or geos. Channel teams are not able to deliver the enablement needed for their partners and distributors (skills gap) and the learning services org keeps shrinking their delivery capabilities instead of growing them (growing in number but not in competent trainers).

Pros

Good company, management generally supports the employees, good work-life-family balance

Cons

Recent restructuring layoffs were random. NetApp recently went to a "laddering" evaluation system that relied too much on management perception and not facts.

Pros

Work life balance, relaxed and nice people at junior and mid levels.

Cons

Constantly fire leaders and Hire clueless leaders from outside who fire and eliminate experienced people at their whim. New leaders who have no idea come in - many of whom do not seem to deserve their positions. They come in and start firing experienced folks internally to bring their cronies from outside. Experienced and accomplished employees are not valued. Benefits like PTO are getting stripped away. Can see the culture of this company going down the dump.
