I have been a customer or an employee of NetApp since it went public. The decline started with Tom Georgens and has accelerated under George Kurian, so and now gutted by former MSFT employees. It's only going to I get worse now as Kurian allows the... —  read more 

Who will be affected?

Anthony Lye resigned from NetApp, one of the worst generators of HR issues with a constant stream of "cover ups" to protect a leader. Expect layoffs and cuts around the leadership changes. Other leaders have resigned as well due to quota and culture... —  read more 

I hope there aren’t many of those who think they’re safe. You should always have a nest egg set aside for eventual cuts.

Speaks about NetApp more than in any other platform. Glassdoor too doesn't reflect the everyday pain go through here.

Layoffs are a constant threat, yet we are barely managing to get the work done as it is. In my team everyone is overworked,working overtime and I can’t even imagine what would happen if we lost another team member or two. Looks like layoffs are only... —  read more 

Some are trying to convince me that it is possible to be valued here if enough effort is put into your work. Really? How much is "enough effort"? I don’t think of myself as the best employee, but I’ve been putting in the maximum effort for a... —  read more 

New to this forum, can someone guide me if there are going to be recession based layoffs on top the usual layoffs that happen every now and then?

I cant tolerate this abusive, back stabbing, toxic and cesspool of an environment. If I can get out of this company in 3 months, I will, otherwise I will resign and better my mental health and skillset while being jobless. People stress less about... —  read more 

There are many dysfunctional teams across the company, that's obvious. However, instead of fixing the many problems, our leadership opts to lay off hardworking employees and hire more layers of management because that's what's going to help, right?... —  read more 

It's getting a little tiring. For me that is more hard to bare than the unrealistic amount of work and growing expectations of employees. If were to do a poll, I think it would turn out that more people are leaving here because of the constant... —  read more 

Did you? Or were you one of the many who got pink slips?

I'm considering VAST, PURE and NetApp roles. There seems to be a lot of negative energy here. Are there layoffs and how prevalent are they? Is the culture really as bad as the employees claim. NetApp seems like a stodgy old company with legacy... —  read more 

Calm before the storm? Especially given that there is a lot going in other companies?

King Kurian will have to confess we are impacted by supply chain. That will drive the stock into the 50s at least. Take a look at what happened during Cisco's earnings call. Stock price and revenue shrinking will result in more layoffs since that's... —  read more 

When should we start worrying about Layoffs ( other than the general worry that we always have )

I've heard that we are changing the stock plan? Is that true? It's the only positive thing keeping me here.

No growth for a decade and the stock price will get crushed on earnings. Kurian needs sacrifice. Notices are imminent.

Absolutely hate the people that I work with, hate the culture and the toxicity. Doing a lot of half-a-s job everyday, and I am continuously bombarded by some cr-p work just enough to keep me on my toes all the time, this is leaving me with less time... —  read more 

Kurian measured on opex and stock price. Employees limit both. Commission plans for next year altered to incent departures without severance.

The more of us will lose their jobs. Except of course King Kurian and his court jesters.

NetApp is currently in a reorganization and silent layoff as they pivot to the new Microsoft led strategy and conversion to Microsoft leadership teams. NetApp existing leadership is being replaced while teams are structured to make the Microsoft... —  read more 

Incompetent management, lack of direction, unreasonable expectations, hypocrisy, sloppy assignment planning, lazy individuals who do nothing but deflect blame, and so many other things are the reason why I've decided to move on from NetApp after 8... —  read more 

I think the culture at Amazon is cr-p, then began to wonder if NetApp is already there culturewise? I mean if its all about breathing toxic fumes, I might as well do that at Amazon getting pay 1.5x more. Has anyone jumped ship to Amazon and can... —  read more 

You can quit if you want. I'll make them pay me if they want to get rid of me.

Like Netflix, earnings are no longer a reason to buy the stock. Like Netflix there are many competitors who are less expensive with equal or better quality. Like Netflix, NetApp has a cult like culture and subscriber base. Like Netflix, NetApp no... —  read more 

April first is always the day NetApp fools find out they have been sacrificed for stock price. Hundreds of millions of dollars flow into stock buybacks for Kurian and their executive bonus. Once a best place to work now a worst place to be. So many... —  read more 

Fate has it that I have to work at this place, I have been following this forum for a couple of months and always wondered about why this forum is so active. Today is the day I realize - I am not gonna say all the things that were already said. But... —  read more 

It took a few weeks for the knot I felt in my stomach each day before work to go away, but now I'm free of it and fully stress-free for the first time in ages. I've finally accepted that if my work is causing me mental anguish, I need to leave. I... —  read more 

Work is horrendous, so is the culture. Most of the work involves dealing with toxicity in the company, Expected to work day in and day out - can't even move out now. so, I guess the plan is to work your a-s off, wait to get laid off and then start... —  read more 

It's funny how unwilling senior management is to consider input from lower-level workers - the exact people who do the work and who know exactly what needs to change and how to improve processes. There are ways to cut costs that don't involve... —  read more 

What do we know so far?

Today, it reminded me of the series Silicon Valley which used to be extremely funny during its initial seasons. So many events that happened today make me wanna believe that most execs haven't seen that series - LOL

I am shocked by the amount of talent that has been layed off or are now at other companies. The entire financial services team in NYC has been replaced. Most left for VAST. The product owner for Storage Grid also left for VAST. George Kurian has... —  read more 

Basically, I’m talking about this company through my personal experience here, which has been influenced the most by my manager - in a bad way. Maybe I would have a different opinion about NetApp if I had a better manager. Anyway, let’s just say I... —  read more 

Unfortunately, I think NetApp will never, or at least not in the near future, have any relevance in the cloud world. And perhaps this company could be relevant in the cloud, only if our leadership had a little more vision, right?

With rising interest rates and everyone's spending dwindling, I can only see everything going down from here on. Fed doesn't have any other way to combat inflation, they will have to raise interest rates, in which case, companies like Google, Amazon... —  read more 

If you think your job can't be offshored, think again! You are too expensive. Unless you're willing to work for pennies, they don't want you. It's as simple as that.

I got an offer after only a month of looking for a new job. To be fair, not all things are ideal here, but it is possible to grow a skillset and gain solid technical knowledge, and then it is easier to find a better opportunity. Are you satisfied... —  read more
