Pros

NetApp has a pretty great culture overall. They still have a beer bash every friday, bagels friday morning, fruit on wednesday, etc. The benefits are still very good. Upper management communicates often with everyone on the direction of the company and they are generally very frank with their assessments as well. The work itself is generally interesting and they rarely require anything beyond 40 or 45 hours a week.

Cons

The morale of the teams has generally declined a bit over the last few years as some of the better experienced employees have quit while most hiring has been confined to college graduates with no experience.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

Pros

Amongst the top companies in the data storage industry = company stability.

Cons

If you'd ask me a year or 2 ago, I would have given the company 5 stars. But, as with most tech companies now, they've started to follow the trend of return to office, regardless of logic. There's little to no room for exceptions and the company would rather sacrifice productivity regardless if they know the hardships for people living in metros (one way commute to the NY or SJC office can take 2 hours one way!) - that and there's no commuter benefits. You have to pay out of pocket and live in fear of not receiving your bonus if you miss the "thrive together" quarterly requirements.
