Pros

This company has a history of doing great things and there are still some employees who embody the old NetApp. If you are brought in by a former manager, especially from Microsoft or Cisco, you will be fine and red carpet will be rolled out for you. If you are cool with risk, this is the company for you. The company is not afraid of getting sued!

Cons

The products are falling behind competitor, especially compared to Pure. Leadership is horrendously bad and getting worse. They hire their friends and clear out old employees, literally blaming leadership failings on "needing to get the right people in".

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.
