      Lots of changes

      Pros

      Good base compensation. There is a bonus pool based on company achievement to targets, and employee share is based on rating for the year. Most recently, the stock price has done well as the new CEO appears to have stabilized the company's trajectory. NetApp will likely continue to remain one of the few independent storage companies left standing given its market valuation and strong IP portfolio.

      Cons

      Enterprise HW/SW companies have gone through tremendous turmoil in the last decade. Not surprisingly, NetApp reversed a lot of the old tenets, such as avoiding layoffs. With a new CEO, there were layoffs twice a year while I was there--which had a bad impact on the morale of the remaining employees.

      Very Mixed Experience Depending on Group

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are good. Lots of work flexibility in terms of work from home or office and when you come-and-go. Pockets of genuinely nice- and smart people but, alas, that population seems to be declining.

      Cons

      I was there for a number of years and company has become much more political over that time. Senior executives very much focused on their BU fiefdoms and careers more than helping NetApp succeed as a whole. Culture of inclusive-, consensus management has degraded into something worthless: lots of discussion and passive-aggressive behavior with slow- or timid decision-making. Company can't seem to place bold bets to pivot away from competency selling on-premises hardware systems. Admittedly executing very well in that space but, alas, that's ultimately a declining market. Work/life balance is great in some groups but terrible in others. Some groups require weekly- or even daily interaction between the U.S. and India that can be very painful both from a work/life balance perspective and work productivity perspective.

      Pros

      If you get with the right team the atmosphere is great!

      Cons

      Lot's of reorganization, layoffs 1-2x per year, bad leadership at multiple levels, still an "old boy network".
