Pluspunten
I spent 11 years at NetApp and learned many valuable lessons and gained incredible knowledge that have fueled my career. I wouldn't change my time at NetApp, the relationships I made last to this day.
Minpunten
NetApp is lost, like a lot of legacy hardware storage providers trying to navigate a cloud connected world. Their value prop is murky and they are a commodity in a saturated market. Why am I writing a post 3 yrs removed from the company.....this company lost their integrity and this line NetApp opens with when they post a job, is not genuine and is insulting, "We’re forward-thinking technology people with heart." Does a company with heart, eliminate your position while you are undergoing cancer treatment? Apparently in NetApp's eye's their definition of heart does include such behavior....disgusting! The definition of Heart for NetApp means kick people aside when they are there most vulnerable. I understand a catchy marketing slogan, but can a marketing team be that out of touch with the culture and reality of their own company? Apparently yes. If you are considering a job at NetApp, spend some time doing research, look up Tom Mendoza speaking on culture, David Hitz on what NetApp was when he felt his kid was old enough to embark on new challenges. Reach out to past NetApp employees on LinkedIn to understand the company you don’t see in their hiring ads. Ask insightful questions based on your research and most importantly understand why after so many rounds of layoffs that have impacted 1000’s, that this company is worth trusting your livelihood and the wellbeing of you and your family? The people I know and love still at NetApp are looking over their shoulders waiting for the next axe to drop. All biding their time for the job market to pick up, so they can run away from this NetApp’s “Heart”.
