Pros

I am with NetApp since last 6 years and overall I have good experience with NetApp, but everything depends on your BU. In some BUs workload is moderate whereas in others you need to slog to compete with team mates and get a good appraisal. Work environment is good and people are really helpful to newcomers. Flexible timings and work from home options help in maintaining work life balance.

Cons

Career progress is very slow unless your performance is phenomenal. Internal transfers are difficult. Two shutdowns in a year where either your vacation leave gets deducted or you have to opt for LOA. Was among great places to work for but not anymore. As company expanded it slowly started performing bad in this area.

Pros

Incredible co-workers that are highly intelligent, sharp, and good people by nature.

Cons

Management cripples employees, has their own individual agenda that in turn leads to chaos, a lot of wasted cycles, and a highly political environment. Being thrown under the bus is such a common occurrence, one might think their desk is on the 405 at rush hour in LA. Two years prior to my employment, sales reps averaged 200% of goal. The two years of my employment, sales reps averaged 70% of goal. The path they are headed on is not one that is righting the ship. Contractors are treated as second class. Beer bashes and the fact that the company serves beer on Friday's is used as propaganda to encourage contractors into filling out favorable employment surveys that are used to attract great talent that will quickly be turned over. For some reason, these contractors are hired in large numbers just before employment surveys are sent out by Forbes, GPTW, etc. On the beer note, it is not uncommon for a manager to selectively wait a few weeks for an employee to attend a "beer bash". Once the manager sees an employees has had a beer, management has been known to slide a yearly review in front of them without any prior notice that the yearly review will occur with the goal of procuring a rubber stamp approval. It might just be me, but I thought yearly reviews should be scheduled and not be conducted when an employee has had a beer that was encouraged and paid for by management.
