Pros

NetApp has a lot of good people and has some unique products in the market. The work life balance is good.

Cons

Perpetually late to market with innovation, are rarely able to capitalise on the innovation they bring. Stuck in a cycle of selling to an ever decreasing pool of existing customers. For the past few years, they have been abandoning their reputation as 'the good guys' and not being honest to the market- 5:1 data reduction guarantee- really?

Pros

Good company, management generally supports the employees, good work-life-family balance

Cons

Recent restructuring layoffs were random. NetApp recently went to a "laddering" evaluation system that relied too much on management perception and not facts.

Pros

Great office location Collaborative team and coworkers with product resolution for customers Ongoing learning new technologies in the field DEI and options for more unique perspectives

Cons

NetApp has a tendency to have proprietary knowledge so it's difficult to confirm if this can translate well to other companies/industries While there is DEI and more the office can have a tendecy to have people state things that are flat out harmful to others this isn't covered and ignored Company has lots of layoffs and it's difficult to guage when this may happen and if you'll be impacted or not
