Best place I've worked at so far in my career.

Professional services consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

My coworkers at NetApp are probably the smartest group of employees I've ever had the fortune of working with. People who underperform tend not to stick around or are driven off. It's also probably the first place I've worked where the HR department isn't useless.

Cons

The hours are extremely long and there is a lot of time spent catching up with customers to respond to questions or resolve their problems. As the consultants are mostly based from home, there isn't a lot of camraderie amongst us. You often go for long periods of time without seeing your coworkers. A lot of time is spent on conference calls.

NetApp - Not bad, but certainly not worthy of "Best Place to Work"

Software developer

Business Outlook

Pros

Offers great benefits and salaries are above average for the industry. The best technical group you will find to solve problems.

Cons

Depends on the business unit, but SMAI is poorly run due to current GM and Directors. Most of the other units seem to be well run with positive feedback from employees. Middle management makes lame attempts to make decisions for the technical direction of products and process.

NetApp is a great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

NetApp is a great place to work because of the company culture. It maintains a culture similar to the startups of the dot com era. There are $0.25 sodas, casual dress code, ping pong, pool table, air hockey, weekly beer bash every Friday afternoon. Also, the executive management team is very accessible as well as responsive to all employees. Very open culture. Lastly, the benefits are great. Complete retirement plan, employee stock purchase plan, health insurance fully covered at a minimal premium to employees.

Cons

I think that some of the internal systems at NetApp are antiquated and need to be updated or better yet replaced.
