Pros

Wonderful people to work with; challenging work; company very focused on life/work balance

Cons

Became way too political after a while; if you weren’t one of your manager’s favorites you knew you would be the first to be let go during a RIF; opportunities available to you were directly related to how your manager felt about you

Toxic Workplace

Pros

- punctual transfer of salary - interesting products and services

Cons

- ca. 80% of DSR and inside sales teams is massively underperforming -> dissatisfaction, envy and rivalry is predominant there - toxic manager - different targets within the team, management prohibits team members to talk about their individual targets - they record cold-callings from both sides without asking for consent in advance - they pay different salaries to team members although they make the same work. They prohibit employees talking about their salaries as well.

Pros

While it is true that the salary at the company can be enticing at first, as noted below in the cons section, there are also several drawbacks. However, it is possible that you may come across a few good colleagues at the company if you are fortunate.

Cons

My time at NetApp was short-lived, but unfortunately, it was a terrible experience that left a lasting negative impact Throughout my time there, I experienced a significant amount of harassment and bullying from managers and leaders, which made me feel intimidated and powerless. I would often end up in tears after each shift, and I felt physically sick every time I logged onto my laptop, knowing that I had to face another day of feeling devalued and mistreated by my manager. The bullying and intimidation started during the recruitment process, where managers spoke poorly about my previous experience and promotions, and questioned why I would apply for a position that seemed like a step back. However, I was initially excited about the opportunity, given the positive experience I had with the recruitment team, and the attractive salary. Once I started, I discovered that the team I was assigned to had mostly long-term employees who had been laid off or fired, leaving only two remaining. Additionally, the management team had no respect for employee privacy, often sharing personal medical information with other team members, and gossiping about individuals in the company. They would also screenshot messages and send them around, creating a hostile and toxic environment. Despite my efforts to stand up for myself, I was constantly shouted at and reprimanded for being unprofessional. Moreover, the frequent layoffs and firings made it difficult to establish trust between coworkers, as people constantly worried about job security. However, when I attempted to address this with management, my concerns were dismissed, and I was told not to bring up the topic again. I would advise anyone considering applying to NetApp to examine the statistics on their layoffs, which disproportionately affect minority and female employees. Unless you are willing to work in a toxic environment with little support for your physical and mental well-being, I recommend looking elsewhere for employment. No one deserves to be treated poorly and made to feel like less than a human being.
