Pros

NetApp has a great name, and good work/life balance. Vacation time is not bad too.

Cons

OCI quality management process is slow, and the tools used are outdated. Too much time is spent educating the manager as she lacks technical skills and always relies on someone to cover her up and do the work. Promotions these days are rare, and when a promotion happens, they are given to those that do not really deserve it. They are normally the people that kiss up to management. Culture has deteriorated greatly, and those that are able to probably already left. Those that are remaining are there only for certain reasons. Such an unprofessional work environment OCI has transformed into.

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.
