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

Coworkers are among the best I have worked with. Following company culture catalysts, they are very professional yet laid back and accepting. Many have the drive to continuously improve. High paying for the area. Many benefits onsite including free gym access, video games, access to a cafe and awesome break rooms.

Cons

Company struggling. Work is not recognized. Politics control advancement at times, depending on management. This seems to be due to a common theme which is attempting to be fixed however stems from management teams straying from the company policy to create their own undocumented guidelines. To add a personal example my former manager had done his reviews of employees without looking at the work they had done, only using his opinions of the employees even after we had submitted our reviews which allow great detail of work. He did not even check statistics such as work completed. Opportunity to advance is rare, with many still waiting to move up after working there for years. This may change if the company recovers well but for now even when jobs open, the normally close shortly after without being filled.
