Unmatched pay, nice work culture, poor management
Unmatched pay, nice work culture, poor management
NetApp offers the best paying software engineering jobs in the area. The work culture is fairly relaxed, and everyone is easy to talk to.
The fatal flaw is the management, the whole way up. Nepotism is clearly the way to get promoted here, so don't plan on promotions for working hard. If your direct manager likes you, you'll get promoted and protected.
Upper level management has no competence when it comes to the evolving storage industry. There was a constant struggle between engineers wanting to work on what needed to get done to have a robust product and some "qualified" individual with an MBA telling them they're wrong.
The company will struggle to stay relevant in the coming years if it doesn't listen to its engineers.
