Pros

I worked for NetApp for 3 years. I came to NetApp as part of an acquisition. I was a contractor for 18 months (which is the longest you can contract there in one position) and I was finally converted.

Cons

Being part of an acquisition didn't lend to the most positive work environment. Our business unit always felt as though we were the red-head step child. Everyone talked about how wonderful the company culture was, but I am not sure I experienced it the same way. Not to say that things were bad, but it wasn't the most amazing work environment.

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.
