Pros

Good pay, good stock options, nice perks. Time off to do voluntary work

Cons

Everything in NetApp depends on the team that you are working on. The manager expected us to be subordinates to our leads, we were just supposed to work on whatever the leads assign us, without questioning. The manager rarely knew what was going on our end, no regular interactions with the manager. This was in particular in the CPE team in India.

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.

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.
