Pros

I spent 10 years at NetApp in various sales roles. The company had (operative word) incredible technology, autonomy to get your job done as you see fit, good mid level management and a vision and culture that were unmatched.

Cons

The company lacks vision, promotions given only to the "good ole boy club". Senior / Executive management is worthless and incapable of making decisions and moving forward. Worked with and for one of the most narcissistic sales leaders I have ever met. He would sell his own grandmother if the price was right. ; ). Frequent - at least twice annually - layoff. Morale is in the crapper and culture is non-existent.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

Pros

- Not the worst pay around - Opportunity for advancement if you get the right management - Good financial benefits (ESPP, 401k options, mega backdoor Roth) - The one thing GK is good at is driving up the company stock price. Hope you got yourself some RSUs

Cons

- NetApp hasn't made a new product in 10 years, so you'll be hard pressed to find development work that isn't directly tied to supporting what was built before then. - Very little innovation other than weekend-project-level AI tools - Health and dental benefits are not great - Upper management is completely detached from reality
