Pros

Positive, generally collaborative work environment. There is a strong focus on making this an excellent company to work for. Tremendous pride in the quality and competitiveness of its products and services.

Cons

At $5B+ in revenue, the company has build a lot of infrastructure, which tends to keep it from being as nimble as it ought to be. This is a typical growing pain that afflicts organizations of this size, though, and will likely work itself out with continued growth.

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.
