Pros

NetApp had a great culture and was innovative back in the day... There are a lot of good people still at NetApp that really care about the company.

Cons

NetApp is a sinking ship. Poor leadership, slow innovation, missed opportunities (Cloud) and latest round of layoffs has completely demoralized everyone. Many talented people have left on their own as the writing is on the walls. Employees having hard time trusting leadership.

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.
