Pros

NetApp is a pretty good place to work at...great technology...great "perks" like beer and bagels on Fridays, etc.

Cons

There is no accountability for management at NetApp. All they do is shuffle senior-level managers and directors around to different jobs instead of cutting the dead weight. The idea of fixing a problem in support is just to change the seating arrangement around.

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
