Some good things, some frustrations
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Work/life balance, collaborative culture, volunteer-time-off policy.
I've had opportunities to work in different technology areas: product code, quality, and developer tools.
The initiatives around quality have made it easier to find bugs sooner and back them out of the codebase. We are on a good trajectory in this area.
I have great relationships with my colleagues and the first few levels of my management chain.
Cons: Life as a Data ONTAP developer has its frustrations. These start with access to the engineering environment (via the VMware Horizon client) and erratic build farm performance, which make it hard to be as productive as we'd like to be.
Some programs were killed several years (and millions/billions of dollars) too late, and some acquisitions should never have been made. It's frustrating to see all this waste and to be told there's not enough money to make this or that improvement for developers.
