Pros

-- The best thing I liked about NetApp is that most of the time I get to decide what I want to work on. There is a lot of trust in engineers and the managers don't micro manage -- weekly Beer Bash -- Good decent size personal cubicles

Cons

If you don't know storage, will take you a lot of time to start delivering. Only engineers who have been associated with the company long enough like 7+ years are trusted by senior management and not many growth opportunities are given to new guys even if there capable

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.
