Pros

Work place and environment is okay. Beer bash and soft drinks for free.

Cons

- The Bangalore center is predominantly involved in maintenance and low end QA work - The work culture resembles a IT services company than a product company - Air is thick with politics with a very thick layer of top management. - Most of the top management in India have got a level higher promotion in Netapp as compared to other organizations like Cisco, HP, EMC, Dell and others - Performance appraisals are a farce. Cronysim and Sychophants have a field day in the company even if they have brought nothing of value. - Layoffs and Organizational changes are very frequent and there are not based on performance. Most teams who were doing product development work with significant ownership have been laid off and the residual teams are into low end maintenance and QA work - HR is rude and arrogant and aligns with top management rather than employees. Candor is tolerated and people who have concerns are slowly made to leave.

Pros

Great pay and benefits. The company truly cares for its employees. NetApp is a great place to work, and always will be. GREAT people who truly care and want to succeed.

Cons

Has lost its vision in recent years. As seen with the recent involvement of a hedge fund manager and board changes. [Elliot management] You hear a lot of "we are a big company now", but that is a euphemism for being dysfunctional. The services organization is mired in politics to the point of impacting the business.
