Pros

Great Top level management (executives/SVP/VP's) Good vision and strategy for products. Good work like Balance Good growth in certain groups Good pay (base salary)

Cons

First/second level management ( in QA ) have zero understanding of the product and very poor at evaluating technical talent. They rely on Sr technical people from other to provide the evaluation and this forces engineers to go to forum and meetings there shouldn't be going there by wasting a lot of time creating visibility instead of doing real work. QA product knowledge across the board is very much lagging. VP's say quality is more important but they refuse to invest in good QA talent. Dev to QA ratio is very low and even senior QA talent in this company is very less (The difference between Total MTS levels is DEV and QA is too high)

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

Company has had many layoffs and seems to have made poor choices on acquired companies. Too much emphasis on promoting to rebalance company on DEI standards not on merit or ability of employee
