Headquarters: 495 East Java Drive
Sunnyvale, CA 94089
Typical of its down-to-earth management ethos, NetApp early on ditched a travel policy a dozen ?pages long in favor of this maxim: "We are a frugal company. But don't show up dog-tired to save a few bucks. Use your common sense." Rather than business plans, many units write "future histories, " imagining where their business will be a year or two out.
And the benefits are tops: five paid days for volunteer work, $11, 390 adoption aid, and autism coverage -- used by 43 employees since 2006 at a cost of $242, 452. The company has gained market share during the slump, hasn't had layoffs, and has more than $2 billion in cash on hand to help it ride out the global financial crisis.
