Pros

I work at a smaller site which is held in very high regard.

Cons

As many old and current employees would tell you, this was a truly great place to work at one point and for a long time. Not anymore. I am an eye witness to that culture changing. NetApp is truly a pay for performance company though. You work crazy and put in the time, you are well taken care off for the most part. But 5 layoffs in the past 3+ years has changed a lot of things.

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
