NetApp ranked 7 by Fortune Magazine

NetApp has been ranked No. 7 in FORTUNE magazine’s "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for 2010. This is the second consecutive year that NetApp has been ranked in the top 10 and the fourth consecutive year to be ranked in the top 15.

Based on this year’s Great Place to Work Trust Index employee survey, NetApp’s overall score is six points higher than last year’s score and the company achieved higher scores in all five dimensions of the Trust Index: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie. NetApp is committed to being a model company with a culture that values creativity, teamwork, productivity, leadership and innovation. NetApp’s egalitarian culture, competitive salaries, unique benefits and down-to-earth management style are valued by its employees and have led to the company’s consistently high ranking on FORTUNE’s list of the top-100 employers.

"We are honoured to be ranked No. 7 on FORTUNE\'s list and proud to have been ranked in the top 10 for three of the last four years. Our talented employees and strong global culture drive our company’s success,” said Tom Georgens, President & CEO at NetApp. "We are committed to our culture, values and benefits, which create an environment that employees enjoy and value. In turn, that helps us enable customer breakthroughs, retain top talent, and deliver greater shareholder returns. We continue to focus on remaining one of the world’s best places to work."

To pick the 100 Best Companies, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. Two-thirds of a company\'s score is based on the results of the Institute\'s Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company.
