Pros

Working with team members has been great, within ones group and adjacent groups folks are eager to help. There is a respect for work-life balance at NetApp. Good technology teams putting energy toward succeeding. There is a desire to succeed.

Cons

A leaning toward action that is good; however, too much of the ready-shoot-aim approach. Senior leaders have trouble defining the strategy and initiatives aligned with it, the old-world of refreshing storage is too alive and well. There is more of a tactical approach to the business that is quite reactionary.

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.
