Pros

Great culture, pay, benefits, leadership. New CEO really turned the place around. NetApp generally manages to avoid the sleazy sales rep thing. People want to stay for the long haul so they treat customers well and build relationships. tech is awesome. customers love the tech and company - it's great to walk into a room and meet clients who rave about your company. Management is competent, listens to new ideas, and has a sense of humor.

Cons

NetApp isn't very good at acquiring companies or technologies. The core product is where all the revenue comes from. I've heard that corporate is a more difficult place to work. Stay in a field site! We all work a ton, typically 55-70 hours/week Our marketing is usually trailing the competition. Management will swap out your customers out from under you - really frustrating. And if you do really well one year, the next year you're slapped with an unrealistic goal. why punish success?

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.
