NetApp

Rock on during bad times ahead god Bless or they as may say the power be you Netapp

Well I don’t work there, my hubby does, and all I can say is he loves to brag with quick pics of his yummy lunches. I am a freelance photographer editing photos all day, and I can tell you the brag pics look amazing! This wife is jealous! He loves his job!

Pain in the butt to do business with.
I inherited a Netapp appliance that was discontinued a year after it’s release.
I need to get documentation on it, but they make you jump through so many hoops that it becomes a joke.
I have about $ 100k of budget for a couple of companies I consult for and unless I have NO choice, I will never recommend their products.

Great food. Great place to work. Great at weeding out the slackers, like the one in this review thread. Can you spot them? (haha)

Wow! They got #1 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For 2009.

By far, NetApp is the best company I’ve ever worked for. I’ve been previously employed at Wells Fargo, Nortel, Cisco, and they can’t even come close to the work life balance NetApp offers. Flexible schedules, and some of the best Benefits in the valley.
As a SR. Project Manager, I have a lot of exposure to HOW the business works from the Infrastructure, Sales, and the NetApp support services. NetApp is still growing between 20−30% year over year… You tell me which company is doing that today.
So if you ever get an opportunity to work here, then do so. You will not regret it.

Not as community (think beehive) based as Google, but definitely one of the nicer companies to work for around this area. The buildings, though sterile, are clean and brightly painted inside and are not too difficult to navigate. Employees seem to be long-​time employees, and are not as young as Google employees, but I like that – retention of loyal and reliable people who surely have families to support and loads of bills to pay.
The cafeteria here, for me, is almost on par with Google’s. Though the food isn’t free for the pickings, each entrée is roughly $ 5.95 (I think employees get at least $ 10 for daily meal allowance). The food is superb and high quality. Unlike Google’s cafeteria, which has the frenetic feel of a high school cafeteria, the atmosphere here is more relaxed as the cafeterias are divided between three buildings. Each cafeteria has a culinary theme, though I’ve found them all to be delicious.
Another unique plus is the contracted company for food services, Guckenheimer. There is a big emphasis on recycled products – the trays to eat on are recycled as are all the takeout boxes and bags. A lot of the «plastic» is actually recycled corncobs. How freaking awesomely green is that?
Love eating at various tech campuses, and this one is definitely one of my favorites.

NetApp is a great company, with energetic employees in an open environment (everyone from the CEO and Founder down to the most recent hire have cubes in common space, encouraging interaction between all personnel in the company).
Though Sunnyvale is conspicuously lacking in food around the NetApp campus, the Java3 café has some exciting food options for you to dine upon… and take them out to the well appointed outdoor spaces on the campus to enjoy.

NetApp is a *fantastic* company to work for. Lots of bright and helpful people to work with, very open and collaborative environment, flexible hours, excellent benefits, I could keep going for a while… bottom line, if you have a chance to work for or with NetApp, I’d say do it!

Their cafeteria has pro-​rated meals! I love it! I gorged on a heaping plate of Indian food here for 5.95, but they also had seared salmon on a croissant topped with wasabi aoili, a salad bar, fancy sandwiches galore, soft serve with toppings, fancy chocolates, Chinese food and fire oven baked pizzas. The space is so clean and well laid out.
Oh and I think they also make servers or something. Storage solutions? Yes that’s it. But really, I only went here to check out the food.

Network Appliance sells large file servers that are very reliable. Need to store hundreds of terabytes of data and never lose a bit of it? Talk to them.
They also serve excellent scotch and cigars.
