Eh. They're not bad, but not the "great place to work" as they keep chanting like a cult. - Senior Product Marketing Manager NetApp Employee Review

Pros

Good market position, growth plans seem ambitious but a lot of focus toward achieving them. Great benefits package, solid pay. A lot of smart, focused people, if not particularly supportive of each other.

Cons

If you aren't working on core technology, you're totally marginalized. Their focus works against new initiatives. Bureaucracy makes it seem like a much larger company than it is, and very difficult to move quickly on opportunities or take initiative in delivering more than is "scheduled" by middle managers.

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
