Pros

Executive leadership communicates well with employees

Cons

Too worried about best places to work status and not enough concern about innovating and staying industry relevant as a leader. Hired a bunch of loser ex Sun employees at different levels and they are struggling with mediocrity across the organization. They do not operate like a true high tech company but more like a bank as they are slow to change and get things accomplished

Pros

Working with team members has been great, within ones group and adjacent groups folks are eager to help. There is a respect for work-life balance at NetApp. Good technology teams putting energy toward succeeding. There is a desire to succeed.

Cons

A leaning toward action that is good; however, too much of the ready-shoot-aim approach. Senior leaders have trouble defining the strategy and initiatives aligned with it, the old-world of refreshing storage is too alive and well. There is more of a tactical approach to the business that is quite reactionary.

Good for the job they hire you for. No chance of growth.

Pros

Strong culture, great event participation, enough independence to do your own thing.

Cons

Horrible, horrible middle management. I wish the Executive team understood just how little of their direction gets pushed down into middle management. Trying to get something beneficial done that aligns with the company's culture and approach can often times be stymied by a particular director or VP's team and their own person agenda (i.e. We don't have time for that, even though we don't have to do any of the work). There are so many things wrong within NetApp right now, it's amazing to me how many people continue to stay on the Titanic long after it has hit the iceberg.
