Pros

For folks below senior management, there are many enthusiastic, good people working to do the right thing to make NetApp succeed. They work really hard, collaborate well, represent NetApp's values of Trust and Integrity and Get Things Done.

Cons

I am surprised at the lack of conversation and demonstration among the executives about leadership. There is no well-developed professional or leadership development at the executive level, and none that permeates throughout the organization with any structure. Options at the executive level for lateral moves or promotion are limited, even though there is great growth in the company. Not yet convinced that this is a good company for women and minorities.

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.
