Pros

NetApp stays a good company, but it is in constant transformation. The main advantages are the salary, the flexibility, and tools available to execute your role and progress. The NetApp products are also amazing, especially on the AI and Cyber Security segments, which are key for the future.

Cons

Colleagues are being let go regularly without explanation (high performers = high salaries). Leaders have a vision completely misaligned with the field. They also don't listen to input on strategies that could make a difference. HR are not taking side with the employees, they are seeking methods to layoff with less efforts (and costs). Yearly rating process is not fair: managers are not saying the final words about their own team members; employees are compared in entire organisations without consideration for their specific tasks or geos. Channel teams are not able to deliver the enablement needed for their partners and distributors (skills gap) and the learning services org keeps shrinking their delivery capabilities instead of growing them (growing in number but not in competent trainers).

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.
