Pros

Full flexibility at work. That comes with a bit of luck though. I got to join one of the teams with most modern and cutting-edge technologies, while being equally politics free. The whole team is kind-of a family -- they support you whenever you are in need.

Cons

If you are competitive enough, you will feel bad that you are paid equal to many stupid dumb people around you who do nothing significant at their job. Heard some teams are literally waste -- work for which there is no need of hiring top college graduates but can be done by 12th pass students too(e.g. running some scripts, basic c++ etc). Heard that most other team has the main task as 'bugfixing' -- yep you got it right, most of the teams are just 'offshore maintenance centers' for NetApp US offices

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.
