Pros

Nice specious office building located next to the Airport, convenient for public transport. Decent benefits comes with the contract, and thats about it.

Cons

Too many politics, promotion is based on favouritism, lack of quality skills among managers, technical support engineers, and most of all escalation engineers. The turnover at Netapp is high and fast, people leave before they even master the product due to hostile and toxic environment, where managers bully and intimidate employees as means of management.

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.
