Pros

Great people Great benefits Currently if you live 25 miles or more from an office you just have to go in once a quarter

Cons

NetApp stopped promoting from within, especially upper management positions. This has been killing the culture for years now. New people, like at a VP level, will come in and fire 20+ year employees that are driving critical work and then turn around and promote managers to directors to get their allegiance. Not a company that you're likely to work at for more than 10 years because when layoffs happen they target the senior people.

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
