Pros

The employee benefits and work life balance are very good. Employee training is great and you are expected to attend regular training sessions to improve your management skills and awareness. Employees are generally friendly & focused on their work.

Cons

There is an undercurrent of frustration and uncertainty that runs through marketing among the various teams. A large part of that is the constant budget battle and changes within the organization which take place on a fairly regular basis resulting in confusion about how they are going to accomplish the goals that have been outlined. The higher the level of management, the less in touch with the actual challenges the budget issues evoke among the teams, limiting the ability for cross-functional cooperation.

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.
