Pros

The only good thing about NetApp is its CEO. The people below him however are mostly very biased individuals who are only interested in building their own kingdoms and using the company as a stepping stone to something better. All of the greatest leaders at NetApp have long since left the company. Most in frustration and dissatisfaction for not being able to affect the real change that is sorely needed.

Cons

None of what they talk about is true when you're in the trenches.

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.
