Was Once A Great Place To Work

Pros

- Decent compensation - Usually a friendly environment (if you're with the right team) - Lots of training encouraged - Great benefits

Cons

- Company use to be very innovative. For several years now all their investment has been going into what amounts to be a product feature on their flagship storage line (FAS/ONTAP). However, they have failed to invest in emerging markets as they should. Their track record with acquisitions has been horrible, also because they don't invest in those technologies/businesses afterward. - Use to be a great place to work (despite all the hype with Forbes and other magazines, that is no longer the case) - Candor is supposedly one of the core values; however, people who exercise it increasingly get marginalized. - Sales organization is becoming more and more like EMC

Pros

Decent salaries. Some good and very bright people are still remaining. Good benefits.

Cons

The culture has changed completely. Morale is the lowest I have seen it. Lots of rumors circulating. Hoping that things become clearer after the new fiscal year starts. If not, I don't see much hope here. Some good acquisitions have been made by NetApp but the track record in incorporating these products into the portfolio is horrible. Most of those products have ended up being discontinued. Forcing people to take vacation twice a year for company shut downs is not good for people new to the company because they have not accrued much vacation yet.

Pros

Standard benefits, however 401K match vests over 3 years Nice Gym, and grounds Under cover parking

Cons

-Below market salaries -Not growing resulting in layoffs in May 2013 and another rounds coming in the next couple of weeks -Poor middle level management, lots of cronysm, extremely slow to make decisions, everyone is trying to protect their territory. -Missed the boat on Flash array and are paying the price (announced layoffs this last week) -Very rigid work culture most departments require being in the office and very much a culture of manager looking over your shoulder and its very stifling. -Huge marketing effort around the "great place to work " this is a mirage. -Oh and the campus is situated next to a dump and it stinks all summer long so you cant use the outside grounds.
