Pros
- Salary & benefits good for the most part, benefits totally lacking compared to other Silicon Valley companies - Good work/life balance, most teams very supportive of this
Cons
- Serious diversity problem. The average NetApp employee (at least from what I've seen on campus) is a 50+ white or Indian man, who's worked there 10+ years and will probably retire soon. - Each location is like a completely different company with a different culture. The Boulder office seems to think/act more like a startup. People working together in open desks, huge selection of free snacks & beer, and I've heard stories about their wild Christmas parties. Sunnyvale is not like that. Traditional cube structure, no snacks/beer, and last year (pre-covid)'s Christmas party was on-campus in the middle of the day. Waltham more similar to Sunnyvale than Boulder, but can't speak for other offices. - Constant reorgs. In my first 3 years, I had 4 bosses. - I have been really disappointed by management's response to COVID-19. We get a $50 a month credit to get what we need to work from home, but that's not enough to buy supplies we actually need, like ergonomic chairs, proper monitors, etc. We had a "mental health" shut down in the summer but were required to take PTO.
