Pros

I've been a NetApp employee for more than 10 years. In that time we've been through a lot as a company and most of it has been positive. During the Warmenhoven era, the company had a family feel. Georgens changed that and we became overly beholden to Wall St. I think we may be back on track with Kurian, assuming it's not too late! The culture remains strong in the RTP office. I can't say much about the other major locations.

Cons

Leadership is strong in engineering, but other areas could use some help.

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.
