NetApp Senior Software Developer reviews

- So many incompetent employes with whom is painfully difficult to work because they are in high positions - managers dont know Anything about leadership or management. Just as anyone with good connections can become a manager. - those sitting in HQ feel all sitting else where are at their disposal If some one wants to work somewhere where there are smart people working professionally with best possible quality of work under a strategy or a plan,, then this is definately a place NOT to be. If anyone wants a place to get salary and can spend all his energy to make him look good infront of all by doing all the dirty tricks, no matter how bad his performance is, this is a right place. In my time at netapp Germany, I got 90% of the time people stopping me from improving anything (them fearing that i get some good credit making them look bad) rather to ask me to improve anything. Not to mention regular layoffs because company is losing revenue due to it missed the cloud oppertunity. Almost every year there is that survey of "great places to work" after which the layoffs follow as if these are last layoffs. "Good" strategy!

The morale of the teams has generally declined a bit over the last few years as some of the better experienced employees have quit while most hiring has been confined to college graduates with no experience.
