Pros

I worked at NetApp for over 5 years. It was a wonderful experience. The company was growing at a rate above 30% YOY when I joined. I was given lots of autonomy, challenges and variety. The leadership team was amazing and inspiring; I had a lot of faith in the leadership. It was a very family oriented environment; working at NetApp became a way of life. My family was brought into the fold via events that happened throughout the year. My children really missed NetApp.

Cons

In the last year of my employment, the business had slowed considerable and the executive level management team had changed. I was worried that NetApp was falling behind on innovation compared to some of its competitors and the numerous start ups that had sprung up.

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.
