Pros

NetApp had a good cash flow, allowing them a nice campus with a phenomenal gym. The pay was above Silicon Valley average based on what I saw.

Cons

They seemed to have taken their corporate culture from former Sun employees. They grew too quickly and then, realizing their mistake, laid off 10% of the company in 2013, and more the year after. The engineering bureaucracy had become so convoluted that it was difficult to get anything done on a macro scale in a short amount of time. Everything had a committee, forcing small groups to ignore the rules and regulations to just get things done.

Pros

You can always contribute to your hearts content. There is always an opportunity to *step* up... Pay is good. Expectations are high, but medium level performance is no punished. However, only stellar performance will truly appreciated. Doing your job is not rewarded. You must go above and beyond EVERY DAY to impress anyone. And NetApp always expects you to SUCK IT UP!

Cons

Unreasonably high-expectations. Sometimes, no good deed is left unpunished. If you try to be proactive sometimes, you will be left with more work/responsibilities and the same pay. It is almost impossible to get promoted, unless you know the right people and report to an office weekly. That is, in remote positions, work-from-home, you cannot expect a promotion, until you take it upon yourself to take a office position or just go to the office all the time.

Pros

Good pay. Good people. Decent products. Lots of money to stay afloat for awhile, even during tough times.

Cons

Very long hours. Lots of stress. No work/life balance. No promotion from within. Should spend more time making it a great place to work instead of on all of the marketing of this goal. Not a diverse product portfolio.
