Pros

The people and culture are what make NetApp such a great place to work. NetApp definitely believes in what they preach as far as being a company that stays up with the current cultural trends and lives by those values. The diversity of cultures made it a great place to work.

Cons

Unfortunately there are too many fiefdoms at NetApp, especially in the manageability groups. NetApp has always had too many tools in the management tool box (which customers complain about) yet they would and could not join them together due to the ego's of those in charge, even though they all work for NetApp and should just be working to help make NetApp a better company.

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

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
