Pros

Working at NetApp gave me excellent work life balance. There is more emphasis put on delivering quality, rather than rushing things. My manager gave me a lot of trust and room to lock in on delivering shareholder value.

Cons

Quite a lot of red tape that you have to navigate. Measurement of success by upper management is quite rigid, people can have different qualities and still contribute as much to the general outcome.

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.
