It's ok - Senior Software Engineer NetApp Employee Review

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

Free food, drinks, nice people. Was able to work from home a couple days and times were flexible. Interesting work.

- Upper management does not know what they want to do and messaging is contradictory to what they actually do. - They keep rolling back the days that we have to come into the office - it was 2 days when I started, then it became 3, now there's whispers of 4. And it's a hard requirement of x amount of days per quarter, so if you get sick or take a vacation, you have to make those days up. - The business processes are lacking structure - documentation is all over the place, trying to figure out who to talk to when you have a problem is an adventure in frustration, and they are pushing AI hard but do not mandate any specific tool, so it's all over the place. - There seems to be a bias towards the folks in India - no will admit it, but it is readily obvious to new employees. And there is an undercurrent of "Us" vs "Them" - The review/rating structure is so bad and something I have never encountered before - if you are rated at a certain level by your manager, that may not be what you ultimately get because your rating is not just based on your personal performance, but also the ratings of others.
