Pros

Known for being named on Forbes Best Places to Work. Great work/life balance. Took advantage of corporate gym. Good people to work with in marketing, but lots of churn. Worked under two different CMOs within two years.

Cons

Recognized the industry's move to cloud computing and doubled down on existing proprietary hardware/software. Disappointed Wall Street and layoffs have been ongoing since 2013. Hopefully the new CEO can turn things around.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

Pros

Amongst the top companies in the data storage industry = company stability.

Cons

If you'd ask me a year or 2 ago, I would have given the company 5 stars. But, as with most tech companies now, they've started to follow the trend of return to office, regardless of logic. There's little to no room for exceptions and the company would rather sacrifice productivity regardless if they know the hardships for people living in metros (one way commute to the NY or SJC office can take 2 hours one way!) - that and there's no commuter benefits. You have to pay out of pocket and live in fear of not receiving your bonus if you miss the "thrive together" quarterly requirements.
