      Pros

      Overall good working environment, people, and culture. Benefits and compensation is on par with other storage companies/tech firms. Moving up the chain as a leader in the Flash market.

      Cons

      Lots of turnover from senior management to field sales. Recent layoffs and some politics as people are very concerned about losing their jobs and trying to look busy and valuable. Tough storage/data management market and macroeconomic issues are creating lots of pressure and a bit of panic mode. Inspection from all levels on deals on a weekly basis.

        Pros

        Work/life balance, collaborative culture, volunteer-time-off policy. I've had opportunities to work in different technology areas--product code, quality, developer tools. The initiatives around quality have made it easier to find bugs sooner and back them out of the code base; we are on a good trajectory in this area. I have great relationships with my colleagues and the first few levels of my management chain.

        Cons

        Life as a Data ONTAP developer has its frustrations, starting with access to the engineering environment (via the vmware horizon client) and erratic build farm performance; these make it hard to be as productive as we'd like to be. Some programs were killed several years (and million$/billion$) too late, and some acquisitions should never have been made; it's frustrating to see all this waste and to be told there's not enough money to make this or that improvement for developers.

          Pros

          Low level management was superb: A textbook example of how managers are supposed to be. Excellent use of video conferencing. Good resources to make sure the job gets done.

          Cons

          Contract was terminated as part of a layoff, and company forgot to inform some employees till after they were locked out. Planning information was not passed down to the employees.

            Pros

            People are very focused on success, success is very well congratulated. No deal is off the table if you can sell the idea of it, you are left to drive your own business.

            Cons

            A little ambiguous in the way you need to run your own show. Management are very focused on forward looking and ensuring that numbers are met which is fair enough.

              Good work culture and lot of motivation

              Cons

              Management is not at all focused on quality of the staff and hence the product is suffering

                Pros

                The company boasts of an amazing work culture. There is a lot of focus on performance also. As such, people are very friendly and it is easy to go around and get your doubts cleared. The senior management is also very approachable and try their best to help out in any possible way. Its also a good place to improve skills as a Developer.

                Cons

                You will not be able to know what kind of work you will be involved in till you actually join the company and start working.

                  Cons

                  Losing our way in how we should support and work with Partners. UK management have lost sight of what is truly important for partner collaboration and focused on the short term business.

                    Pros

                    Its really a great place to work. People come with their own set of skills and learn a lot from their team mates. Managers here push their employees to excel and I really love the idea of no 'micro management'

                    Cons

                    There is a bit of unnecessary hierarchy, to much of dependency on other teams.

                      Cons

                      Never recommend this workplace to anyone. Very disoriented and unorganized work place. Management is very corrupt and biased towards the employees who do not question and stay favorable. No hesitation in terminating people without any justification. Work place is good for people with skills: flattery or other obsequious behavior

                        Pros

                        Great Top level management (executives/SVP/VP's) Good vision and strategy for products. Good work like Balance Good growth in certain groups Good pay (base salary)

                        Cons

                        First/second level management ( in QA ) have zero understanding of the product and very poor at evaluating technical talent. They rely on Sr technical people from other to provide the evaluation and this forces engineers to go to forum and meetings there shouldn't be going there by wasting a lot of time creating visibility instead of doing real work. QA product knowledge across the board is very much lagging. VP's say quality is more important but they refuse to invest in good QA talent. Dev to QA ratio is very low and even senior QA talent in this company is very less (The difference between Total MTS levels is DEV and QA is too high)

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
