Pros

Good package and good products

Cons

Great place to work if ...... You have no kids , you are 200% dedicated to the company & NO LIFE TIME. After 1 year inside NetApp I said that great place to work at NetApp is just an illusion. What they call great place to work is just because after a hard day work you can go and drink a beer with your manager and colleague...What a great fun !!! A very pyramidal and hypocritical management with a few core midle manager team who are competing each day to be closer to the direction....No real diversity ....etc....Culture and value are exclusively money, rolex and porshes oriented. Good place if you like exclusively sport , luxury cars and watch and live close with no kids, because there is no life time balance.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

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.
