In Soviet Russia there were two newspapers: Pravda and Izvestia. These translate to "the truth" and "the news". Soviet Russians used to joke that there was no truth in the news. Candor is part of NetApp's corporate culture. I mention this in light of... — read more 

Net app is no different than any other company that was doing well and paid well. We spent more time working up rather than working out. The Directors had some real power issues on who was who so that slowed down progress. we would get feedback on... — read more 

It's amazing that even people who have been executed by the current and past management still can not see NetApp for what it is. Its a place where the few succeed at the expense of the many. It's a place where the executives play musical chairs with... — read more 

NetApp is a perfect analog for SUN. While SUN tried to force feed Solaris and SPARC to customers the industry moved on to Linux/X86. That baggage doomed SUN to a fire sale. NetApps baggage is even greater. Firing employees, selling buildings and... — read more

Do you know that NetApp monitors this site, and in fact summarized the activity (mostly the positive stuff) on this site in the March 1st layoff social media summary? It has been therapeutic to read these posts, and important for people who were... — read more

I have been screwed by HR at NTAP almost every year i have been employed. Every year changing comp plans so that you never make a penny more than the year before, all the while expounding on how you are being promoted and what a great deal you are... — read more 

NetApp: Now trying to get prospective customers drunk http://hopsandiops.com/

All my Altavault contacts were canned this last go around, and I hear that there is no marketing money to promote and market it, as all marketing dollars have gone to flash. This is a shame because this was in my opinion the only solid piece of the... — read more 

What do you think, was this just the start?

I'm surprised at this bitterness. I was a long time employee at NetApp and part of a realignment in 2015. NetApp was fair to me during and after my employment ended. Please wake up NetApp provides a source of employment for you not a lifetime... — read more

I heard about the layoffs of some Fse and Fem. Can you confirm that ?

Does anyone think they asked to be taken off the list since even NetApp has to think it's tacky to be promoting the same week as massive layoffs? To go from the 30s to off the list is pretty drastic especially when the list was compiled many months... — read more 

Judging from the chain of comments, some people are very unhappy and making racist comments about GK. Calling him "Curryman" and etc. Such a show of class from you bunch of losers. Must be that white privilege or entitlement mindset. If it was a... — read more

Seriously??? Some people don't even know if they're affected or not and your planning a huge drinking party in Vegas? This is just ridiculous!!

Have already tried knocking on woods, crossing fingers, rolled over, played dead, raped a few camels and got rape by a few… nothing worked. Those bloody bastards are still here.

I work with a Netapp competition, and don't think this is Netapp specific. But entire storage industry is in bad shape. This is the time for NetApp to fire the bad apples, and hire new blood. All the best.

Why Rob salmon is still there with him leading more than 50% of total netapp employees? Why was his org not right sized? It doesn't look like that GK is able to root cause the issues. Just randomly removing people from engineering isn't going to help... — read more 

Thanks GK, we now know whose fault it really is for the deterioration of NetApp culture. We, the pawns of the company, of course are to blame for NetApp falling off the GPTW list for the US this year when we didn't even belong to the list the... — read more 

As per Times of India Report, Around 150 to 200 persons laid off in Bangalore. NetApp, a company synonymos with an awesome work culture will be giving 2 months' severance package and around 8 months of basic pay (Depending on the seniority level)... — read more 

The layoff is just another way to outsource engineering to India... I work in EMC, and same thing just happened. They laid off a group here in Jan and this week, 20+ new hires in India.

The NetApp buildings are so much nicer than the TRW buildings they replaced.

Mindteck may have a position for you! Check out www.mindteck.com/transitioncare for more information.

Any clues?

lots of layoffs in several Offtap teams like OPM and ontap software etc. OnCommand Insight (OCI) is left untouched though.

So many directors and managers are still here. You let the workers go and kept all the useless high paying positions. Transforming? Please wake up and smell the curry.

Fellow writers What's the news on bangalore? How many are layoffs?

In years gone by there were several "restructuring" events in which many folks lost their positions at NetApp. In all of those events there was, at least in the management view, a fair amount of transparency. That meant that they knew what they were... — read more
