NetApp

NetApp has a wide assortment of excellent employees that truly want what is best for the company. They work hard to make a terrific product and succeed a vast majority of the time.

The current strategy to get them off a slump is off and currently requires a great deal of spin to get it back on point. NetApp suffers greatly from NIH (Not Invented Here) by many of the old guard and their disciples.
