Pros

Good CEO, nice perks, 5 days of paid volunteer time / year. I think NetApp overall is a good company to work for. Strong top leadership (Tom Georgens, Tom Mendoza, Dave Hitz).

Cons

Some pockets of high amount of politics. The E-series group is still by and large run by former LSI management team, and seems to be completely separate from the rest of the company.

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.
