Politically toxic environment
Politically toxic environment
Ok salary, pension scheme, flexible working hours, work from home option, good work-life balance.
So many incompetent employees with whom it is painfully difficult to work because they are in high positions.
Managers don't know anything about leadership or management. Just as anyone with good connections can become a manager.
Those sitting in HQ feel all sitting elsewhere are at their disposal.
If someone wants to work somewhere where there are smart people working professionally with the best possible quality of work under a strategy or a plan, then this is definitely a place NOT to be.
If anyone wants a place to get a salary and can spend all his energy to make himself look good in front of everyone by doing all the dirty tricks, no matter how bad his performance is, this is a right place.
In my time at NetApp Germany, 90% of the time people stopped me from improving anything (them fearing I would get some good credit making them look bad) rather than ask me to improve anything.
Not to mention regular layoffs because the company is losing revenue due to its missed cloud opportunity. Almost every year, there is that survey of "Great Places to Work" after which the layoffs follow as if these are the last layoffs. "Good" strategy!
No suggestion, do as you please. You already did me a favour by laying me off. Thank you for that.

I was invited onsite after an initial phone screen by the hiring manager. I did not have much experience in file system development, and my resume showed it. In fact, I had developed a stacked file system, and that was my only experience. The interv
