Business outlook
Pros
There are a number of great people still at NetApp. The people in the trenches make the business work.
Cons
Promotions are next to impossible to earn. Instead of promoting based on merit, the whole organization has to compete for reqs, and the reqs go to favored senior managers, who then promote based on political agendas. Escalation Engineers avoid taking cases like the plague and tens to hoard knowledge instead of fostering team growth. The Financial organization is devastating the company as it bows to pressure from an activist investor who really doesn't care about the future of the company or its supremely loyal customers.
