NetApp reviews

Since we switched to United Health, the benefits gone down. Some of our executives, middle management should have been giving the boot a long time ago. When the company are dealing with quality or sales issues, they lay off the lower level employees who are actually doing the work. Why don't the executives get cut too? There is no advancement in the company. It's not what you do but who you know. All the quality and sales challenges we face are completely within our control and preventable. Don't use the macro economic as the excuse. We have lost many of top talents to our competitors such as EMC, Nibble, VMWare. I am looking to leave this in next few weeks. My HRBP was kind enough to help me to negotiate a good salary package with the new company. We have let go a great a HRBP who actually knows HR and can answer everything. She was a great team player and respected by her clients. She was the catalyst that I expedited my departure.

There has been a higher than normal level of attrition in the past 12-24 months with several long standing employees leaving. Reasons for this vary with no common theme. Some cite the change of NetApp from a small company to a big one with the influx of too much bureaucracy and process. I personally think this just brings a different type of challenge and it might mean we need different types of people to overcome it. Financial packages are generally not quite as high as you probably could get elsewhere if you are a high achiever. SE management is currently in a state of transition and trying to figure out what it wants to be. There is some frustration in the business about the slow reactions of this management team and the fact that they are all people managers rather than technical leaders. There is a major product transition going on at NetApp as we take customers from 7-mode to Clustered Data ONTAP and it is creating a lot of pain for both customers and field sales. The corporate message is that the destination is worth the journey and if I put my hand on my heart I think it is, but it still makes it stressful sometimes when you're the one having to make that journey day in day out.
