Pros

Strong products and technical depth, some truly talented engineers, flexible work options, and a solid customer reputation built over years of good delivery.

Cons

Chronic leadership turnover, mixed messages from senior management, constant restructures, and an obsession with internal politics over customer outcomes. Morale is low, innovation is reactive, and field teams are left to clean up after poor executive decisions.

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
