Avantages

Plenty of parking. Amazing work/life balance (Because no one is really doing real works)

Inconvénients

It's a mystery how this place frequently shows up on fortune's best place to work list. Average pay, average benefit and no perks compares to any silicon valley companies near by. Beer bash is pretty much unheard of in HQ to cut cost, while many remote office privately hosting "weekly" beer bash with company's budget while working on shorter than average hours. Engineer's productivity is almost non-existence since the introduction of VED (Essentially your desktop work space is under virtual environment but no network access). There's a culture of engineers saying yes to a task with zero intention to ever getting it done. The capable people get things done without ever getting the raise or promotion they were promised to receive, while slackers sit in their task for another day and getting free money. Half of the executives, founders and motivated engineers have left the company these past months. What's left are the finger pointing types of people who loves to play politics. Cafeteria food is average, but the menu never change, so you'd grow tire of them in a month, and people love to book meeting near lunch time so you can't eat anywhere else. HQ is conveniently located next to Quarry to poison your lung.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

Avantages

Amongst the top companies in the data storage industry = company stability.

Inconvénients

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.
