Pros

The pay, benefits and perks are terrific. The company is generous with pay, bonus and the stock purchase plan. The gym and cafeteria are better than most in silicon valley. They give you bagels on Friday and let you play pool and foosball all week. If you're looking for an easy place work and to skate by without really doing anything, try the IT department at NetApp. It's easy to sit back and complain about how busy you are and give the appearance of getting work done. Just make sure that you stay friendly with the directors and managers - it's more important to be liked, than to get anything done.

Cons

In the IT group, the turnover is very high. In a few jobs, two or three people rolled through one job in less than a year. Some people got fed up and walked out, other people were walked out by management after only a copy of months on the job. The management team talks about developing people and communications - you gotta' hand it to them, they go the extra mile for a few employees. Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to the masses The price of the stock isn't going to go up for a very, very long time - look at the return on equity and return on assets; the CFO must be asleep at the wheel.

Pros

This company has a history of doing great things and there are still some employees who embody the old NetApp. If you are brought in by a former manager, especially from Microsoft or Cisco, you will be fine and red carpet will be rolled out for you. If you are cool with risk, this is the company for you. The company is not afraid of getting sued!

Cons

The products are falling behind competitor, especially compared to Pure. Leadership is horrendously bad and getting worse. They hire their friends and clear out old employees, literally blaming leadership failings on "needing to get the right people in".
