: US Military Fellowship
Our team engages individually with fellows to understand their career goals in hopes of matching them to the appropriate position within NetApp.
About Us
NetApp is a global, cloud-led, data-centric software company that empowers organizations to lead with data in the age of accelerated digital transformation.
The company provides systems, software, and cloud services that enable them to run their applications optimally from data center to cloud, whether they are developing in the cloud, moving to the cloud, or creating their own cloudlike experiences on premises. With solutions that perform across diverse environments, NetApp helps organizations build their own data fabric and securely deliver the right data, services, and applications to the right people—anytime, anywhere.
Program Overview
The US military offers many active military members the ability to participate in fellowships during the end of their military service. At NetApp, fellows are onboarded with the “military fellow” job code and are paid and supported by the military during the fellowship. Fellows do not receive company benefits.
Program Goal
Military fellowships aim to help service members transition from the active military into the civilian world and, ideally, help these individuals find a full-time role at the end of the program.
Although, being a NetApp military fellow does not guarantee a full-time employment at the end of the program, all fellows will still gain valuable experience and expand their professional networks.
Our Culture
NetApp values and behaviors serve as our inspiration and our guideposts on our journey together to build an aspirational culture and empower our customers and each other.
When you choose to be at NetApp, you choose to become part of something bigger than yourself – you choose to become integral to a diverse and inclusive culture that pursues boundless ambition in service to others. #OneNetApp Powered by Together

NetApp is proud to be recognized as a Military Friendly Employer
My military fellowship at NetApp was highly impactful for my transition into the IT industry, as it allowed me to develop critical skills and gain valuable experience in a corporate environment. I was able to expand my technical knowledge, deepen my understanding of business operations, and build great relationships, which have positioned me for success in my future career endeavors. Overall, my time at NetApp has undoubtedly helped to accelerate my professional growth and broaden my horizons in the field of technology. I would highly encourage other service members to attend NetApp’s military fellowship program because it allows for the development of technical and soft skills that are highly transferable to the civilian workforce.
Community Manager
My military fellowship has been such a rewarding experience. I’ve interacted with mentors from all areas of business in NetApp and all of them have provided me with great wisdom, from drafting a governance document to presenting a project to stakeholders. I was originally hesitant to apply because I had no previous IT experience, but they assisted me in translating my military skills to fit corporate roles and execute them in projects. I am extremely grateful for this fellowship and feel accomplished that I produced positive outcomes with the team I was on.
