Pros

Great communication from Leadership! Fairly good benefits and pay. Open door policy.

Cons

Difficult to get things done with layers of decision makers while no one wants to be accountable and make decision. Can be very political in some departments.

Pros

Lots of history and a good track record of making technical advancements. Competitive pay.

Cons

As a 20+ year old tech company, they have a lot of home grown tools that are not as modern as open source alternatives. Things like burt (a homegrown bug reporting tool) that would be better swapped for bugzilla. The language of choice for QA is perl, where most of the rest of the world moved to Python 10 years ago. And finally, in 2015 they implemented a security measure called the Dome that forces all engineers to access their engineering work via a remote desktop to a virtual machine. The whole engineering network is disconnected from the world. You can't access the web from the Dome. You can't get your mail from the dome. So, half of your work is on your laptop's interface and the other half is from this cut off environment where doing necessary things like system updates is exponentially harder than it should be.

Pros

NetApp's culture is good. Was ranked as the best place to work.

Cons

NetApp has done reduction in force every year for the last four years. Management could not figure out how to overcome the drop in sales and revenue.
