Pros

Good work-life balance Great set of people to work with Hands off management, just get your work done. Great start for a career

Cons

Too much importance for artificial stuff like great places to work rankings etc which are no good except for marketing Not too great set of perks, they cut back on lot of good stuff like weekly beer bashes Too much focus on ONTAP ignoring other BU's and technologies like flash drives. (Almost cult Like) although this is changing very slowly Not much growth once inside the company compensation or otherwise

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.
