Pros

The culture at NetApp is top notch. People genuinely want to do the right thing. CEO is amazing and leads by example. Somehow he manages to be direct, firm and humble at the same time. Internal communication from the C suite as a whole is the best of any company I’ve worked for in my 30 years of experience.

Cons

To be blunt, NetApp cannot get out of its own way. There is a severe lack of systems and process infrastructure that creates a crippling amount of inefficiency. In addition, there is no funding to invest in improving these areas. I was there 6 years and the minimum improvements that were made during that time didn’t even begin to move the needle.

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.
