Pros

Training, work-life balance, senior management, culture. People around are very helpful. Management up to 2 levels above a normal employee is very good.

Cons

Time off policies, too many unpaid shutdowns. There are no special benefits. Pretty much the same as any below avg company.

Still pretty good, but rough times may lie ahead

Business Outlook

Pros

The much vaunted NetApp culture still exists, perks are great, pay is good and the company really does have some moral grounding and a strong set of core values. Work life balance is generally good and executive level management is decent and respected.

Cons

Several factors are working to destroy the NetApp culture: the current economic climate, the company's growing headcount, ineffective middle management, etc. The focal (review) process is not equitable; stack ranking is very much a reality here, and if you are fortunate enough to find yourself on a high performing team it could cost you. From an execution standpoint the old "Fast, Simple, Reliable" NetApp is rapidly eroding, mostly in the simplicity area. ONTAP is immensely complex, and the company only gives lip service to simplifying it. Manageability is terrible, in part due to that group being poorly run but also because the ONTAP group refuses to acknowledge their own (large) part in that being the case. Geographic diversity within many teams is a problem as is an over reliance on the Bangalore site, which produces products of questionable quality.

A decent place to work -- just not in technical support

Business Outlook

Pros

NetApp is a growing company with a good culture and fun work environment.

Cons

Technical support is a mill at NetApp. They're always too slow to react to new challenges or to get people trained in the right areas. Always behind on CSAT. Never staffed correctly based on what specialties are needed.
