Great for exposure to a broad spectrum of technologies. Not so great for professional growth. WAY too many meetings. - Systems Administrator NetApp Employee Review

Pros

Opportunity to enhance skills in every aspect of the modern datacenter: VDI (VMware, Xen), networking, storage (FC, iSCSI, NFS, CIFS), Enterprise OSes (Windows 2008/2012, RHEL/Debian/Suse, FreeBSD)).

Cons

Limited/unclear professional growth path for 'in the trenches' IT. Frequent layoffs that negatively impact overall perception of the company among current employees. Management calls far too many unnecessary meetings with no clear purpose for all participants.

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.
