Overall a great place to work, but as the company grows, the great culture doesn't always scale. - Anonymous employee NetApp Employee Review

Pros

I have a lot of respect for the C*Os. Great products and team culture. Great work/life balance. They want employees to be productive so you're given the tools to get things done.

Cons

I'm pretty unhappy about the layoffs in 2013; why do this when we're still making money? Some other policies suggest that "large-company disease" is setting in, e.g., why should any manager have the ability to blacklist any ex-employee (i.e., can never be rehired)? Some departments have been decimated and demoralized by bad management hires.

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.
