Pros

The benefits at NetApp are great and keep getting better every year.

Cons

Unfortunately the growth in this company is limited. The company itself is growing but they are not promoting their employees. Upper management do not support their direct reports nor do they care to learn about the culture or their colleagues when they are hired from outside the company. The lack of communication is disturbing as is the understanding of what actually goes on at the lower levels. The CEO has made political comments during his "All Hands" which are offensive to those who support their government leaders no matter who they are. The excuse that it is a California company is just that, an excuse. No one is taking the time to change and advance this company outside NetApp Inc.

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.
