The entire Spot Sales Team of Spot are the most useless bunch of "specialist", self-center, arrogant B-C+ players I have ever worked with. Such a lack of talent and experience on one team! They all got lucky that Anthony Lye sold George Kurian (GK ) on a visionary pipe dream, which GK went all in on with Spot being the "keystone" foundation technology, which ultimately take down the once great and now legacy company.
In January, I saw the entire Spot BU forecast and it was LESS THAN 10M and mostly in non-impactful accounts. It is a late-to-the-game product; not a solution. The DevOps + FinOps + CloudOp messaging is all fluff as the product does come close to what it is stated; hence once GK figured it out, he let go of Anthony Lye, who is now at Palantir. What NetApp should have done was take all "specialists" and made them general AEs to compete head to head with more feet on the so-called street but they think they can eliminate everyone via automation, which they will not be able to pull off. They cannot even get their own house in order..example: multiple postponements of the CRM rollout, which has been a disaster.
If you think the layoffs are done, then you are an id--t! More to come so prepare yourself and get out NOW! Good luck!
