Pros

There are a few pockets of brilliance. I enjoyed working on a high performing team for most of my tenure at NetApp.

Cons

There are many mediocre managers who are interested in self-promotion and are not contributing to moving the company forward. Unfortunately, upper management appeared to not have a clue who these people were even though HR knows. They were unable or unwilling to eliminate bully managers who are detrimental to the company's success. Lots of political infighting.

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.
