NetApp Director reviews

I was there for a number of years and company has become much more political over that time. Senior executives very much focused on their BU fiefdoms and careers more than helping NetApp succeed as a whole. Culture of inclusive-, consensus management has degraded into something worthless: lots of discussion and passive-aggressive behavior with slow- or timid decision-making. Company can't seem to place bold bets to pivot away from competency selling on-premises hardware systems. Admittedly executing very well in that space but, alas, that's ultimately a declining market. Work/life balance is great in some groups but terrible in others. Some groups require weekly- or even daily interaction between the U.S. and India that can be very painful both from a work/life balance perspective and work productivity perspective.

Still too many dinosaurs in Sunnyvale that are US centric and not connected enough with the global business. The desire to transform fast often means that speed to deliver becomes the primary focus without a full appreciation of the mid to long term needs of the business or taking full advantage of option that could deliver significantly more ROI for the business e.g. business process and systems modernisation.
