Pros

Product is good. Easy sell to legacy customers. Net new customers took longer to adopt. ONTAP works great. Engineering team is solid. Engineer and solutions leadership is A++ and know the product in and out.

Cons

New customers are rare. Product is in grandpa phase. No real innovation beyond pushing boxes in years. Adding C series / block isn't innovating but a follow along. Products were gated not to out perform A series. Lack of innovation beyond just new bezel boxes. No consistency in vision. Constantly changing pay structure each year causes confusion interally and externally.

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.
