Pros

Used to have good culture with people willingly helping each other but no longer true

Cons

Hired a bunch of clueless sales leaders who do not understand the market and industry. All senior sales leaders are just a bunch of sales ops who make decisions based on spreadsheet. They do not meet customers nor partners. Senior sales leader is clueless ands toxic causing a lot of disruptions to the company. More than 50% of your time will be spent on internal meetings, sales cadence, planning meeting etc rather than meeting customers. Micro management by senior sales leaders who are clueless themselves

Pros

Good company, management generally supports the employees, good work-life-family balance

Cons

Recent restructuring layoffs were random. NetApp recently went to a "laddering" evaluation system that relied too much on management perception and not facts.

Pros

Great office location Collaborative team and coworkers with product resolution for customers Ongoing learning new technologies in the field DEI and options for more unique perspectives

Cons

NetApp has a tendency to have proprietary knowledge so it's difficult to confirm if this can translate well to other companies/industries While there is DEI and more the office can have a tendecy to have people state things that are flat out harmful to others this isn't covered and ignored Company has lots of layoffs and it's difficult to guage when this may happen and if you'll be impacted or not
