Pros

Competitive compensation, great benefits, beer bash. NetApp culture is still kept by most people, so you'll find great people to work with everywhere at NetApp.

Cons

Layoffs every year, company direction doesn't seem to be solid. NetApp used to be ranked in the top Best Places to Work At for many consecutive years. Unfortunately, it is nowhere to be found in the list over the last 3 years.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

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.
