Pros

Great employer, super benefits, excellent flexibility for working styles. Super place to earn loads of money and hide for real work.

Cons

Flip flop company strategy, no long term goals or ideas. Jus hit react to latest results. Constantly banging on about company culture and how fantastic everyone is, then an annual redundancy round with little or no noticeable change in executive leadership other than those that self select out.

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
