Pros

Good work-life balance, stable place to work (except around quarter-end). Used to be a great culture but lost its way after CEO Dan and CFO Steve left a couple years ago.

Cons

Lots of the driven, high-achieving people have left. Serious people remain, the people with a sense of humor have gradually left. Doesn't seem to have the same sense of urgency it used to. Lost its soul a few years ago, lost its way toward growth around the same time. Good stable place to work, tho.

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.
