Pros

NetApp is my first employer, I joined NetApp two years ago as an system engineer trainee, my manager and mentor had taught me without reservation. In my opinion , netapp has its own culture which may influence everybody working here, at least the technical staff here. Many training opp if you apply , and sometime work pressure is great, but most time you can learn something you want or do something you like, just as what I am doing.

Cons

It's hard for local Chinese to be promoted to a high level, I mean staff from mainland, and sometimes practical individual staff is tough, if unfortunately it's leader or manager , It will be some unhappy experience in your career

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.
