Pros
  1. Enterprise storage is a very interesting space in the systems software world.

  2. NetApp is very successful in that space.

  3. Mostly sane work-life balance.

Cons
  1. In my group (the ex-Solidfire distributed block storage product), it was very difficult to get the equipment needed to effectively test the system at customer scale. This resulted in worker frustration and serious availability and scalability issues with the product. (This seems to be a problem throughout the enterprise storage industry - for some reason there is plenty of money to hire people but limited money to get them the equipment needed to do their jobs.) In my group, the vast majority of status meeting time was spent discussing the allocation of scarce development and testing resources.
