lots of layoffs in several Offtap teams like OPM and ontap software etc. OnCommand Insight (OCI) is left untouched though.

"NetApp is transforming as a company to be more focused, efficient, and effective." This is crap they axed the Mars OS team which had developed a linux storage system and had sent version 2 to manufacturing the day that management cancelled the... — read more

I found an odd coincidence, which may be nothing or a possible law suit!!! Every person I spoke with today, that was part of the RIF, did not have the seniority that I expected. Specifically, every redundant person on my team and outside of my team... — read more 

So many directors and managers are still here. You let the workers go and kept all the useless high paying positions. Transforming? Please wake up and smell the curry.

Fellow writers What's the news on bangalore? How many are layoffs?

In years gone by there were several "restructuring" events in which many folks lost their positions at NetApp. In all of those events there was, at least in the management view, a fair amount of transparency. That meant that they knew what they were... — read more 

As I understand it, the Wichita office lost 65 (+/-) loyal, dedicated and talented team members today, including folks with as many as 43 years of service dating back to the NCR days. NCR built the facility in 1973 and some of these folks had been... — read more 

I wonder if the people in Sunnyvale that chuckled at George Curryman's comments about wasted money on travel, since people can't figure out great communication tools like WebEx, were laid off today. Some laughing matter, with the people impacts... — read more 

Good times on repeat

I left NTAP because the culture there is long dead. They are not the NetApp they were 5 years ago. After 3 layoffs, the atmosphere on the RTP campus is melancholy and abysmal. I could not be any more happy to be out of there and at a company that... — read more 

Our VP called for entire team meeting this morning in RTP, March 1. 25 people. He asked for everyone to be there in person. Plus, he was on linkedin updating his information yesterday. It's not looking good. Good luck everyone!!!

Confirmed with a VP in engineering that hardware group will take a hit. There is a big push now within NetApp is leveraging whitebox / ODM solutions. Just look at Solidfire -- someone else's hardware!

Everyone I'm talking to in Sunnyvale saw it coming and is pretty happy. They're glad that they slow rolled it and got the severance. It's like a double blessing -- long lead time on the layoff and two months paid leave.

More than 10 conference rooms in Wichita are reserved from 8am to 1pm CST. This is horrible!!

Everyone remaining here with us has the imperative to MAKE THIS WORTH IT. We can either continue to spend too much money, give shit away for free and thoughtlessly throw around money OR everyone can take a long hard look on their effect on the... — read more 

I am currently watching people walk out with all their stuff. This is a sad day for NetApp. Best of luck to everyone.

Team, Today, we will begin notifying employees who will be impacted by the global restructuring we announced on February 17. Most of the impacted employees will be notified over the next 24 hours. However, in parts of EMEA and APAC, the restructuring... — read more 

What is the package they are offering? How may weeks per year if service? Do they carry you on payroll for a while? Any details?

Show starts Tuesday morning PTC. Good Luck everyone. Congrats to those who get the deal.

Do you know if functions supporting sales will be affected by this round of layoffs? I hear rumors. Thank you.

In fact most knowledgeable hiring managers will question if you were somehow part of the well known problems that brought NetApp to the sad place it now exists. Since the introduction on Clustered ONTAP I had customers asking if they could just stay... — read more 

I cleaned out my desk on Friday and am not coming back in until I know that NetApp has a permanent place for me and several of the other members of my team. I've got several interviews in process with one "sure thing" nailed down. Thanks to everyone... — read more 

After running into a friend and member of management out having some drinks with friends I have learned NetApp now has level 1 working/being dispatched most cases leaving level 2 with only escalations. Doing the math - support will be taking a heavy... — read more

I heard from multiple sources that a couple managers in support were escorted out today in Wichita. Has the bloodbath started?

Getting rid of perks is not the answer to keeping jobs. There is a fundamental issue with the core of this company. This won't be the last round of layoffs. I'd expect another one same time next year, if not later this year, because as the company is... — read more 

I left a few months back and now use Amazon aws on a daily basis. There is no comparison to an on premise solution. For 80% of the workloads, Amazon beats anything on prem in terms of delivery time and if you are careful cost. This is one of those... — read more
