Work-life balance is overall really good - and depending on your manager it could tend toward awesome. I was lucky and landed with a fantastic manager so my opinion my be a little skewed but the work-life balance at NetApp has been my favorite aspect of working for this company. Benefits are pretty good. 401k matching for 4% of total salary (if you contribute at least 6%), 5 days of VTO, PTO is kind of weak and non-negotiable (15 days for 1-5 years of service, 20 days starting in your 6th year) but depending on your manager you may be able to work out flex-time off which is a pro. ESPP is another one of my favorite perks (you're able to allocate 10% of salary toward the program). And that's about that.
Minpunten
Disconnect in communication between leadership and engineering. Product direction and acquisitions are a mess. A lot of bureaucracy around decision making e.g. more talking about doing things than doing them - seems like decision makers like to talk their way into perpetuating their relevance/importance opposed to making sound engineering or product decisions. Innovation has been stifled to say the least - this company seems to be filled with old timers in senior leadership roles that are stuck in the glory days of on-premise data centers. Despite the recent marketing push for becoming "a cloud/multi-cloud specialist" and the new cloud focus of the company, I can assure you that ONTAP and on-premise data centers are still king. Compensation is relatively low by industry standards and equity grants are kind of a joke. Even though NetApp likes to flaunt that they're a "pay for performance" company the yearly bonus' are strongly tied to company performance which has been pretty awful for the last several years so even as a high performing employee I received ~56% of my target bonus for the last year. Considering that is a major lever in the realm of total compensation - it's important that people know that your NetApp salary is the only reliable piece of your TC (especially since stock has been plummeting over the last 5 quarters and thus equity grants are meh).
