Pros

I spent 10 years at NetApp in various sales roles. The company had (operative word) incredible technology, autonomy to get your job done as you see fit, good mid level management and a vision and culture that were unmatched.

Cons

The company lacks vision, promotions given only to the "good ole boy club". Senior / Executive management is worthless and incapable of making decisions and moving forward. Worked with and for one of the most narcissistic sales leaders I have ever met. He would sell his own grandmother if the price was right. ; ). Frequent - at least twice annually - layoff. Morale is in the crapper and culture is non-existent.

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.
