Pros

The open culture and great people are the greatest reason to work at NetApp. Most people are very good at their jobs. Another reason to work at NetApp is that there are loads of exciting projects going on in all groups. There are lots of opportunities to be part of good projects.

Cons

Career advancement is individual's responsibility. Career advancement opportunities are limited. Several groups prefer to hire from outside rather than grooming talent from within. The company is going through growing pains that can be good or bad. Sometimes the processes keep changing or new processes are put in place imposing large overheads without clear benefit. I guess that's part of growing 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.
