> Intense political infighting amongst middle management
- Former Intern, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
work life balance, free snacks
Cons
Lot of middle management politics.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Really one of the best place to work for. I have been working with NetApp for more than 4 years.
8 Nov 2013 - Member Of Technical Staff in BangaloreRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great work culture with better work life balance. Good technology to work on. Get enough flexibility and free mind to work on a given feature.
Cons
Not hire a right talent sometime. Lot of politics in middle management. In some teams, more often you find people doing politics than actual work. Very tolerant for under performers.

Pros
good work life balance campus is good
Cons
-works on ancient technologies with slow growth -middle management is bloating up and usually doesn't care about employees - managers are worshiped and trusted -still stuck in the old style of management - most of the positive reviews will be by managers here and not by engineers

A balanced work enironment with limited technical challenges
16 Aug 2012 - Anonymous Employee in BangaloreRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Rock solid business. Very strong top management. No brash decisions. Its non-back-stabbing culture. Leader in thought leadership in storage technologies, though being challenged by startups, off late. Aligns very nicely and quickly during challenging times. Inherent culture of trust.
Cons
Weak middle management. Slow in reacting. Does not take hard decisions.

Truly a great to place to work
17 Jul 2015 - Software Engineering Manager in BangaloreRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
An employee friendly company with lot of benefits(Fully equipped GYM, Company leased car, Medical Insurance, Beer bash etc). Innovation is the key for company's success in the Storage industry so engineers get the opportunity to work on cutting edge technology projects. First line managers are very competent, friendly & ensure engineers are not over loaded.
Cons
Incompetent Middle management Frequent lay-offs Declining product revenue
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Technical Program Manager 4
13 Aug 2018 - Technical Program Manager IV in BangaloreRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great engineering talent. Good perks above market average. Geroge Kurien has transformed the company in last 3 years.
Cons
Middle management still needs to improve a lot. False promises. Biased reviews. Politically motivated. Stagnated after few years. IC 4 and above expectations are unrealistic.

Great place to work but can do better
3 Apr 2014 - Member Technical Staff, Software in BangaloreRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Cutting edge technology, wonderful work life balance. Senior management is always within reach and keeps in touch with the employees with the all hands.
Cons
Poor middle management. No innovation of late and strategy is to consolidate rather than invest in new avenues. Needs focus on quality of the products and customer satisfaction.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good people in some parts of the company Free breakfast Sales kickoff is fun Some products are good
Cons
Very weak middle management Only promote those who kiss a** and is never on merit Favouritism and Backstabbing is prominent
