Not that great
Not that great
Successful product backed by a strong sales force. A lot of technology to sink your teeth into. Typical big-company compensation and benefits. Many capable and nice coworkers.
Super slow pace. Many talented and dynamic people get frustrated and leave.
Dumb processes. Productivity is appalling. Tools and mindset are 30 years old.
Very hierarchical. Decisions are handed down without explanation. Engineers are just workers.
Increasingly political. NetApp was once blessedly free of politics, but not anymore.
Stagnant. Gigantic technical debt. "Top priorities" are not linked to any sort of fresh thinking.
Institutional paralysis. Even when everyone can see that something doesn't work, we keep right on doing it. The right conversations never take place. Innovation has been bred out of the population, especially on the management side.
Fight the big-company pathologies.
