Pros

NetApp has made tremendous strides as a storage vendor and has been a leader in changing the roadmap in this industry. They have an excellent, down-to-earth senior management (executive team) that leads from the front.

Cons

Organization maturity and processes are still in its infancy. They are still learning how to grow from another player in the industry to being one of top two leading vendors in the industry. The first line managers and middle management layer grew from the ranks - are not necessarily the best managers. Having an opinion and a voice may land you in soup.

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.
