Pros
Netgear offers a decent benefits package. We get free soft drinks, coffee and tea. The company offers a employee stock buying plan and also provides a company / employee based bonus program.
Cons
It's not a friendly hardware based company as it mainly derives most of it's engineering through and ODM's to maximize profit. Programs start off using a JDM model then all of the sudden the follow up programs become pure ODM cutting out the local Engineering talent. The company had one of its best years for profit and still had layoffs.
