Pros

NetApp still has the remnants of a great culture, and a notable percentage of folks working there are intelligent and friendly. Pay is on par, or a bit higher than other places in the SF Bay Area.

Cons

The company has lacked an innovative - let alone effective - product and sales strategy for the past few years, and it's mostly due to leadership. Diminishing sales have taken a toll on revenues, and, subsequently, on the culture. Once a bastion of driven people, it now sees far lower levels of productivity.

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.
