What don't you like about working at NetApp?

"Process, process, process. It was very difficult to get work done on a day to day. Their internal tools for managers and employees were not well integrated. There are so many different tools, it was hard to know which one to use for what process. A large number of IT and business analysts are required just to keep the lights on."

"Develop a strategic plan regarding business process design and system integration. Cost saving would be huge, if processes and interfaces were more seamless and the number disparate systems were reduced. Be willing to invest on such projects. It's not as if those conversations don't occur but when it comes to making the investment, that's where the company falls short."
