Pros

NetApp is a successful company with a lot of interesting technology. Engineers with the right skills and temperament have good opportunities to influence direction and produce innovations that make a difference to the company's business.

Cons

NetApp is very inward looking. The system can be bewildering in its complexity; many newcomers have trouble mapping their past experience. The company is best at evolutionary baby steps, and often has a hard time getting new initiatives going. Many people would say that the environment is chaotic.

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.
