Pros

Great teams that really want the company to succeed. Flexible work hours, telecommuting opportunities. Good compensation and benefits.

Cons

Went from customer and employee-centric to shareholder centric. Seemed to forget that when customers and employees are happy, shareholders are happy. Instead worked to build up share price (buy back stock), four layoffs in less than four years and more probably on the horizon. Poor upper management and exec direction, portfolio stagnant; many startups now eating NetApp's lunch and NetApp is far behind (where they were previously the head of the pack). Poor acquisition history (most not managed well after acquisition--failures). No real chance for promotion. Too many layers of management. People not caught up in layoffs are leaving in droves (another friend of mine just left). Very sad; I hope they somehow turn it around because it had great people and really was one of the best places to work.

Pros

Overall good working environment, people, and culture. Benefits and compensation is on par with other storage companies/tech firms. Moving up the chain as a leader in the Flash market.

Cons

Lots of turnover from senior management to field sales. Recent layoffs and some politics as people are very concerned about losing their jobs and trying to look busy and valuable. Tough storage/data management market and macroeconomic issues are creating lots of pressure and a bit of panic mode. Inspection from all levels on deals on a weekly basis.

Pros

The ability to develop a thick skin dealing with all the aggressive personalities and power mongers.

Cons

Too much empire building along with showboating during meetings with no results. This is the classic example of aggressive personalities control everything while the individuals that actually do the work get no respect or acknowledgment for doing the work.
