Pros

File system is the heart of NetApp.. Looks like it's having a heart attack.. If one is at the right place and at the right time one can learn good things about the core storage and file system aspects

Cons

All work and NO pay makes jack a dull boy.. Lots of changes keep happening up at the top of management which keeps shifting the direction where company wants to head.. Management has resolved to not retain their employees and extract last ounce of work from the existing ones on false promises. Even few technical directors are keen to get involved in petty politics. There is bias written all over every action which has made the atmosphere very negative and discouraging.

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.
