Pros

Salary is good. Silicon Valley location is desirable. Growing Company. Nice campus and equipment.

Cons

Senior management not connected to IT challenges. Poor project planning and the same mistakes repeated over and over. Complicated infrastructure not supported with ample budgets. Quantity is job one and everything is due yesterday - suprise and blame happens when issues arise. Just do it faster and don't make too much noise about it.

Pros

- great products - smart people - market leader - good compensation and benefits

Cons

- Senior leaders are reactive, not aligned and constantly shifting priorities. Often times this indecisiveness stalls implementation of great ideas. Projects get thrown into holding patterns and teams churn multiple cycles and waste valuable time and resources because of this. - Most people in mid-level roles are people with long tenures at NetApp and got promoted for sticking around. Unfortunately, their lack of openmindedness and immaturity stifles good ideas and keeps experienced and talented people in a box. - Lots of reorgs - constant state of reactive fire drills caused by indecisive management and competitive pressure - A lot of red tape, for even the simplest of things. - Lots and lots (and lots) of huge egos here, and that makes things difficult - too many people insisting it be their way or the highway. It's a shame to see politics and assanine processes halt progress. There are tons of great people and great ideas that - if implemented in a reasonable timeframe - would put NetApp ahead of EMC years ago and keep us there.
