Pros

Talented Engineers, Good Teamwork, Competitive Pay and Benefits. Good technology domain. Fantastic culture.

Cons

Incessant Layoffs. Every year since 2011 there has been 7 to 10% layoffs and in 2016 two layoffs. in the recent layoffs, the senior folks have been impacted since their benefits are higher. So senior folks better watch out. The constant chatter of upcoming layoffs or just concluded layoffs kills the morale. This was a great company once and i sincerely hope it returns to its past glory.

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.
