Pros

Positive environment Competitive product portfolio Opportunity for growth Great work/life balance Interesting market potential

Cons

Highly skilled and nice employees whom lack of candor when it is needed most Inconsistent development methods leading to poor cross functional collaboration Outdated engineering tools could use refresh (+ slow adoption for new tool exists) *Often areas for individual learning and growth are not well defined (varies - might be intentional) Management does recognize many of these issues and they are being addressed (although, it would be recognized faster if employees had more candor)

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.
