We are Numero Uno & I'm not surprised one bit.
NetApp rocks and it always has since Day #1 for me. I’ve been here for almost 5 years now and still feel like it's my first month on the job. The excitement level, the ambition, the infectious positive attitudes are all components of why I love my job and why the rest of the nation recognizes it year over year. Our former President and current Vice Chairman Tom Mendoza always said “Catch someone doing something right.” Trust me; there is a lot of that going on around here.
Our CEO, Dan Warmenhoven, stated that “other examples of our strong worldwide culture are the many local “Best Companies” awards NetApp has received this year. In Australia, we ranked in the top 8 of “The Best Places To Work In Australia”, our NANE site was named a “Top Place to Work in Massachusetts”, our RTP site ranked the #2 “Best Place To Work”. In Silicon Valley we have been acknowledged as one the “Bay Area’s Most Admired Companies” by San Jose Magazine, and most recently we ranked #10 on the “Best Places to Work” list from GlassDoor.com. We have also received several awards for corporate philanthropy and corporate responsibility this year, which reflect the generosity of time, effort and resources you contribute to your communities worldwide. Over the past year we have also received many environmental awards for innovation in our datacenter including the InfoWorld Green 15, ComputerWorld Top 15 Green IT Companies, & the Uptime Enterprise Green Enterprise IT awards.”
That’s a whole lot of recognition and I’m more than proud, to say the least. It is an absolute privilege and pleasure to work for such a phenomenal company as NetApp. Ever since Day#1, it’s been #1 for me, so cheers to you, great place to work, and may the wind be at your back, and the sun upon your face… and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.
Hey Gilda, same sentiment here in Amsterdam!
Don't forget our EMEA HQ listed #4 Great Places to Work in the "L&MNC" category in 2008: http://www.greatplacetowork.nl/best/list-nd.htm!!
