Pros

There is a reason NetApp is listed as "one of the best places to work" year after year, and in many countries. The corporate atmosphere is so "polite", that it almost seems out-of-place to make a snide comment to the point that everyone just "gets along". I can safely say, this is was the best place I've ever worked insofar as job satisfaction is concerned. A total 180-degree difference from Red Hat :)

Cons

The only "cons" I can even come up with are: 1) Tendency to cut contractors towards end of projects to save on operating cost numbers via out-sourcing their India-based location, and 2) lack of upper-level, corporate hierarchy's ability to properly propagate important issues upwards.

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.
