Pros

You live the NetApp culture everyday, you count on others and others count on you. It's a very open environment where you have access to everybody -- colleagues, managers, execs. You get to do real product engineering work, some of these are architected and designed from the ground up (Ver. 1.0). Lots of top notch engineers and smart people all around you, most days you wake up feeling good and fired up to make a difference.

Cons

Hard to maintain a work-life balance, lots of conf calls that eat into your mornings and/or evenings. Comp and benefits are about average or maybe slightly better, but nothing to write home about.

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.
