NetApp reviews

-Compensation has fallen behind other tech companies in Bay Area, especially if you are there for 5+ years like I was. Pay below market for that long can hurt financially as housing costs and regular expenses are sky high. -Promotions were hard to come by. Lots of favoritism and then no rationale for when you weren't chosen. -Raises were either non existent or subpar, even promotion raises. -Tons of politics. Step on the wrong VPs toes and you were blacklisted. People literally bend over backwards for this particular VP as well and those that are in good graces get preferential treatment. -Meetings were a nightmare mostly because the organizers lacked skills. Days would be filled to the brim with meetings so no chance to get work done unless putting in extra hours- but what motivation was there for that? -When first started, upper management focus was on gain of market share from EMC. In doing that they forgot about all the startups that are eating their lunch today. -HR completely nonsensical. Want to hire someone? HR for finance would follow old and outdated policies and we would lose candidates to other employers. -Slackers unite. Very easy for people just to collect a paycheck and do nothing of value. Low performers are coddled.

found it hard to advance within the team, was there for 8 years and salary didn't keep up with industry standard
