Pros

I am with NetApp since last 6 years and overall I have good experience with NetApp, but everything depends on your BU. In some BUs workload is moderate whereas in others you need to slog to compete with team mates and get a good appraisal. Work environment is good and people are really helpful to newcomers. Flexible timings and work from home options help in maintaining work life balance.

Cons

Career progress is very slow unless your performance is phenomenal. Internal transfers are difficult. Two shutdowns in a year where either your vacation leave gets deducted or you have to opt for LOA. Was among great places to work for but not anymore. As company expanded it slowly started performing bad in this area.

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
