Pros – Focus on customers, partners and employees drives the culture. Culture is all about teamwork and winning together - not as individuals. Great opportunities to add value. Excellent work-life balance.

Pros – The people are supportive of one another.
The management team is innovative..
NetApp has the speed and innovation of a start-up with the stability of a corporate powerhouse.

Cons – The approach of a single system that does everything seems to be losing to the specialized systems.
Lately, there are so many changes that it is hard to build strong forward momentum.
Company moral has slipped lately.

Pros – NetApp provides you with the salary, benefits, etc. so that you can give your 100% to your work. Most employees don't find micromanagement to be a problem, and there's definitely work / life flexibility to be had...IF you can get the job done in 40 hours.

Cons – Marketing management was extremely politicized and unproductive in 2010-2011. A lot of reorg happened so it might be a different story today.

I worked at NetApp full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Above average salaries, extra time off for volunteer work, a lot of exciting projects to work on.

Cons – Be prepare for long working hours (15+ a day) with lots of unproductive meetings. The equally shared development between US and India strategy created enormous overheads. Management turn over rate is very high (100% in a 5 yrs). You have to play the game in order to suvive.
