Pros

Good culture, employees are by and large treated, well, extra emphasis on great place to work, flexible work schedule.

Cons

Too much consensus oriented predisposition, poor decision making process, inept leadership - cannot figure out what to do to grow the business, top down leadership, lack of delegation, power struggle at the top, too much focus on top and bottom line without a tangible clear direction on dealing with the changing market conditions.

Pros

The overall culture at NetApp is one that trusts their employees to manage their own time and get their work done. It is a an output/outcome oriented organization, rather than a strict 9-5. This allows employees, even during the busiest seasons, to maintain work/life balance. The benefits are great! The employee base at NetApp is great - a lot of smart, hard working, and genuinely nice people work here.

Cons

NetApp is in a transformative state, trying to mature from a start-up like operation to an enterprise class organization - a little too late. Groups still work heavily in silos, which causes redundancy and even contradictions in end to end processes which leads to a lot of 'busy work' as a result. Although everyone is nice, groups do not work together (a lot of tunnel thinking, rather than seeing the up/downstream impacts of their groups' decisions). The employee base is full of great people, but it's clear that the executive management ranks play heavy political games which trickle heavily into your every day job. The culture at NetApp is so consensus based at times that decisions are never made, or employees are required to jump through multiple hoops (getting buy in from 5-10 committees) before getting approval. This habit leads to less agility and again, more busy work. This company loves to invest a LOT of money into outside consulting firms for cultural initiatives.
