I'm ready to leave NetApp, I already have a few job interviews lined up, but I'm still very nervous and hesitant to make that final decision to leave even if I get one of the jobs. I'm wondering, has anybody who left on their own - not taking about... — read more
More rumors April
I heard something in EMEA last week and I just wanted to confirm the rumors and how many people was impacted on each country. What about the Middle East office?
Some countries closed?
Heard a rumour today that they let go people in Czech Republic, Luxemburg, Finland and some other countries... Can anyone confirm?
Funny, sad and true
Saw this and thought of NetApp immediately: Employers are ideally looking for an employee with the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and the pay scale of a 20 year old. While I find it funny, it's... — read more

What group and how many got hit this time?
Seems odd no comments in the last 2 months, this one must have been very stealth, who got hit and where?
Can we get rid of HR?
I'm not sure they can be more useless than they are now.
News on layoffs?
Has there been any news on next round of layoffs at NetApp? I've seen mentions of July and August as potential layoffs months, but there is very little additional info. Should we take the no news as good news and accept that we are safe for a while?... — read more
Support is always hit hard
Having worked at Netapp and other companies, support is always hit hard when cuts come along. The big reason is that it's very hard to justify the cost. Support was great when I was there and they paid very well for good engineers. But since support... — read more

How many in the last layoffs round?
Do we know by now how many employees were affected in the last layoffs round at NetApp? Somebody mentioned around 150, but that seems like a too low number, at least according to what I've heard through the grapevine. I could be wrong though. Do we... — read more
Who makes the decision?
Why did we lose one of our best people to layoffs while several useless schmucks are still here? Who makes these decisions and based on which criteria? It would be really nice to know, because no matter how much I try, I can't make any sense of this... — read more
Worst Places to Work
Does a company that is constantly chopping away at their workforce qualify for this award? If so, netapp would probably win. Senior management pay raises ahead!

May 14 layoffs at NetApp
Confirmed layoff coming week of May 14. I’m already transitioning the workloads of two resources that I know will be cut. Primarily because their compensation is higher than necessary due to piss poor leadership decisions historically. This was... — read more
May layoffs
If it going down in May its likely to happen on Weds 5/16 or Weds 5/23. Any more info on this? What makes those dates stand out among others? From what I have heard, most layoffs take place on Tuesday, not Wednesday, so it would make more sense for... — read more
CSD is in shambles
The new management team overseeing Support is a bunch of Bafoons. Good luck as they sink the ship.
Severance question
If somebody who was caught in one of the last layoff rounds still visits this board, do you mind sharing how long it took to receive your severance? One of the guys I used to work with claims on Facebook he still hasn't received his, and his last day... — read more
Heard another one in May
I have heard another one in May..
Uh-oh
Confirmed today that another small round is coming in April, end of fiscal year. Good luck my colleagues.
Do we know if that was it?
Anybody else nervous by the relatively small size of the latest layoff round? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it wasn't as bad as a lot of us have feared, but frankly, I'm worried that this might have been just the beginning and that more will come next... — read more
Targeted Layoffs - February 2018
The cuts seemed to be very targeted though. I know someone who's director was cut and it sounds like a few engineers. Haven't heard total numbers though.

I wonder what "small" severance charge means? Much smaller layoff (than in recent past) maybe?
Layoffs in 2018 - Jan or Feb
I am fairly certain that layoffs are coming in the new year - either Jan or Feb. Announcement before the Q3 results announcement to get a lift-off.
Layoffs at Dell Bangalore Storage?
Rumors are that key management talent at Dell storage at Bangalore will be nuked soon. These are ex Netapp superheroes. Maybe Netapp can hire them back.. If that happens Dell team will be humbled.

Stopping useless gossip and leaving this sh--!
Guys, this is a DYING company, please open the window and take a look at the vivid outside world! An entry level engineer is paid WAY much more than a senior here. Grandfather technology, infamous management team, non-programing tech lead, if you... — read more
Cisco acquisition is unlikely
Agree that this rumor surfaces pretty much every year. Given NetApp's current market cap of 11.5 B it would be by far the largest acquisition in the history of Cisco. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Cisco_Systems Very unlikely... — read more
