Pros

Great Salary and Benefits, lots of nice people working there. It does appear that the corporate culture does value employees and tries to provide many avenues for balancing work and life. I did meet some very pleasant people here.

Cons

Heavy on process, lack of transparency , losing market share so frequent layoffs. New product development doesn't happen here, only extension of existing products. Current management has a CYA attitude, and cost cutting / outsourcing abounds. Managers expect you to be on call 24x7 so as to accomodate offshore development teams.

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
