Product team in trouble
I'm not sure how many of you have been following this trend, but there has been a surge in highly technical and exceptionally skilled product managers resigning over the past few years. This seems to be driven by the appointment of opportunistic... — read more
The company misleads
There is a full time staff who reads the posts here and convinces TheLayoff to delete the opinions that put executives or company strategy in a bad light. NetApp has become a cult of overpaid order takers and corporate thugs. Like Scientology they... — read more
Threatening emails from Managers to come to office
Managers have started threatening people to come back to office. Why is this happening when employees are more productive doing WFH
Major layoff this week
Multiple folks impacted in US
Global sales leader at Spot resigned after one year
Feel she did not contribute much in this 12 months besides bringing in two excolleagues … what are your thoughts on Spot/Instaclustr future?
NetApp is a dying company
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
Layoff coming this week
Another round of layoffs is coming this week following the financial report. NetApp's revenue drops for yet another quarter - https://blocksandfiles.com/2023/08/24/netapp-earnings-okay-but-work-needed-in-flash-and-public-cloud/. Tuesday is the day... — read more
Where do you go after NetApp?
I feel the skills required to work here are too niche to broadly apply in the industry. Whether it's a silent or a mass layoff, I'm certain another round of layoffs is on the way (be looking out by end of August). Looking at job listings and... — read more

NetApp E-Series, still in Production or moving to EOL?
What's the story behind E-Series, customer still want E-Series or slowly moving to EOL status?
big announcement soon
Rumor is there will be a big announcement in the product teams after the holiday. Anyone know what its about?
What's your plan?
Recent reorgs around a certain product have set NetApp up to lose what little foothold and stake it had in tangible cloud offerings. The leadership of this org has continued to churn and make poor decisions that result in highly experienced engineers... — read more
another layoff wave yesterday/today
when will it end? :D
GK sold close to 5K shares
Are you still holding yours?
Being afraid of layoff makes no sense to me
Can it really get that much worse if you change companies than you have it right here? NetApp was a cr-ppy place to work for a while now. Personally, I would see being laid off as them doing me a favor. I know the severance is not great but it's good... — read more

Spot.io Layoffs: Business not doing well
There are sudden layoffs at Spot.io this week. There were another two rounds that happened at the end of May; the start of May and also last quarter. Churn is high; the leaders keep missing their revenue numbers and the rank-and-file employees... — read more
NetApp now the worst place to work
It's been a long fall from when we were rated Best Place to Work. Kurian has destroyed what's left of that. No innovation ..... Bad acquisitions ...... Management by fear ...... Firing anyone who spoke out in a culture where that was once consider a... — read more
NetApp Waltham is best place to work at, handsdown!
No one comes close
No One gets laid off in pride month and before July shutdown
No One gets layed off in pride month and before July shutdown. GK promised
There are much better companies
I was let off the RIF in Feb and was performing and hitting numbers. Let’s just say there is ZERO loyalty at Netapp and middle management has no power or ability to influence decisions (district managers and Regional Dir). If you think you’re special... — read more
Tell me you work for NetApp without actually saying it
Use the layoffs theme.
Pure Storage is hiring from NetApp
Just heard Pure is hiring NetApp employees from CA and KS locations. Check LinkedIn or other career sites for openings. My source is legit.
You didn't work hard enough...
Your remote work collaboration has failed this company.
$80 a share soon
Who posted this company is, dead? Look at the share price? Look at the earnings report? NetApp to the moon!
Will the layoffs ever stop?
"Layoffs today", "Layoffs end of this week", "Layoffs next Tuesday" - when is this going to stop? Have people become immune to the uncertainty that NetApp offers to its employees? Life at NetApp has turned uncertain long before the uncertainty we... — read more
Oh my God the results are so awesome
Please don't give me that BS of beating expectations and stuff. Not even once did I feel good about these earnings
Whats with the positivity in some of the posts here?
My understanding is that the only people who visit this site are the ones who are anticipating layoffs ( which is almost all the time ) and then there are others who probably feel that NA wronged them by laying them off ( which is a great possibility... — read more
NetApp needs to increase its Sales, where's Henri Richard and his Ducati?
NetApp needs to bring back Henri Richard with his Ducati to increase Sales. Where is Henri these days?
Large riff after earnings
Another 10 percent if earnings miss. Kurian doesn't know how to grow a company so he will cut heads to get his stock and bonus
Great Outlook
https://blocksandfiles.com/2023/06/01/netapps-revenue-downer-with-no-relief-in-the-outlook/
Another year of non growth
The company is now officially a fossil. We haven't grown in decades.
Are you all taking care of each other?
Thats a message GK usually sends across to the whole of NA - are you taking care of each other?
HR and DEI people - how do you feel?
HR and DEI at NetApp, how do you feel about your position in this company? Do you still feel relevant?
A lot of great people were cut
Some say that cuts are performance related, but I would disagree because I know several excellent performers who are cut. Why was cutting them necessary? It's very demotivating.
Congrats on your promotion!
We have some new and exciting things that we think you'd be perfect for! No, you won't be letting go of any current responsibilities. You will keep those and you'll be assuming responsibility for everything your "affected" team members were doing... — read more
What happened to all these growth projections?
What happened to all those growth projections the past couple years? The warehousing of relented employees to keep competitive?

What's happening to E-Series? I've heard customers still want E-Series products??
