Pros

- Great pay. Even the summer interns make more annually than most starting engineers in the Valley. - Good food in the cafeteria. Very expensive and high quality but very cheap (2-9 dollars). - Awesome HR staff. - Beer bashes! - Great benefit plan. - Paid time off for volunteer work.

Cons

- Antiquated equipment. Some of the laptops they give out are T40-T42 series, which aren't exactly the best machines to develop on. - Beer bashes are something like monthly now. - Public still doesn't know enough about NetApp. It may be one of the best companies to work for, but having to explain who you work for to non-techies is annoying.

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.
