VIENNA, VA--(Marketwire - October 22, 2009) - NetApp (
NASDAQ:
NTAP) today announced it was
recognized as one of The Washingtonian magazine's 50 Great Places to Work
in the Washington D.C. area. NetApp was selected as a winner in the "Think
Big" category, for large companies, on the basis of such measures as
recognition and respect given employees, great work-life balance,
challenging and interesting opportunities, commitment to community, and
generous pay and benefits.
"Being recognized this year by our employees as one of the 'Best Places to
Work' in the D.C. area for the second time is a huge honor for our
company," said Mark Weber, president and general manager of the U.S. Public
Sector, NetApp. "Positive feedback from our employees tells us that we are
succeeding in striking a balance between encouraging a drive for excellence
and creating a rewarding model company that fosters a unique work
environment focused on trust, integrity, and teamwork."
In June 2009, NetApp was ranked #2 in the large company (with nonlocal
headquarters) category on the Washington Business Journal's list of "50
Best Places to Work" in the D.C. area. In January 2009, NetApp was ranked
#1 on FORTUNE magazine's annual "100 Best Companies to Work For" list,
marking the third consecutive year in the top 15 and the seventh straight
year in the top 50. See why employees like working at NetApp in the
