          Specialized products moving towards cloud. In general good margins that provides stability to the company. Great benefits in general, 401k matching, personal days, great balance.

          Cons

          I would say, is in a middle of a transformation, which means several changes.

              Pros

              NetApp used to be a great place to work, really good pay, great culture.

              Cons

              The current leadership team has destroyed the culture. It's all "I tell, you do and if I want your opinion, I'll let you know what it is." They have also set completely unrealistic goals that only about 20% of the field is hitting, so no one is making money.

                Change can cause pain. Layoffs as the company evolves into a hybrid cloud leader while increasing profits and stock price. Getting younger by leveraging internal post-college training program

                  Over pivoted to cloud, new tech leaders are bring it back to on prem focus, but it has taken time. Pricing is high, leadership will approve discounts to be competitive, but reps deal with lots of cycles of approval.

                        Pros

                        The culture at NetApp is top notch. People genuinely want to do the right thing. CEO is amazing and leads by example. Somehow he manages to be direct, firm and humble at the same time. Internal communication from the C suite as a whole is the best of any company I’ve worked for in my 30 years of experience.

                        Cons

                        To be blunt, NetApp cannot get out of its own way. There is a severe lack of systems and process infrastructure that creates a crippling amount of inefficiency. In addition, there is no funding to invest in improving these areas. I was there 6 years and the minimum improvements that were made during that time didn’t even begin to move the needle.

                      Does anyone have any suggestion templates for a message to send on linkedin that they’ve tested/worked to get a response from a recruiter that works at the company but isn’t linked to the job posting / hiring manager when you see a job posting that you are a right fit for and don’t have a relationship that you were able to build with time like most of these career advisors suggest and don’t want it to come across like a ask?

                      Manager

                      I’ve recently completed an interview for my dream job at a dream company. It went well (and received same feedback from HR afterwards), however I was just informed the position is placed on hold to ascertain their resources, etc. my interviewer was the head of the department. Would it be inappropriate for me to reach out to her on LinkedIn to let her know I would be interested in any future roles on her team?
