Pros

Flexible Timings Compensation/ESOPS/RSU Competent Peers Good Technology - Branding - Netapp brand is a huge value add to one's profile. Beer Bash

Cons

Tons of process,reviews. Legacy monolithic system. Work is hampered by process,dependancies between teams. Sadly,everything is evaluated by the count of the burts solved. High level of Micromanagement prevails, The work totally depends on the team. Some teams have fabulous work and the workload is quite steep. Quite a disbalance in terms of workload between teams No transport - Go green and connect to work in public tansport . Work from home depends on the team. The culuture is very similar to other product companies. Strange that they get the "great place to work".

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

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.
