NetApp

NetApp has a pretty great culture overall. They still have a beer bash every Friday, bagels Friday morning, and fruit on Wednesday, etc. The benefits are still very good.

Upper management communicates often with everyone on the direction of the company, and they are generally very frank with their assessments as well.

The work itself is generally interesting, and they rarely require anything beyond 40 or 45 hours a week.

The morale of the teams has generally declined a bit over the last few years, as some of the better, experienced employees have quit, while most hiring has been confined to college graduates with no experience.

I strongly suggest management starts replacing some of the experienced folks that have been leaving.

If they are content with the B players left, they'll hire C and D folks, leading to a continuing decline in the company.
