Pros
The benefits are very good
Cons
Working at NETGEAR is like stepping into the early internet boom, in a bad way. Behind the times is an understatement. HQ is like the movie Office Space. There are no meaningful perks, all systems are archaic, and incompetence runs rampant. Very few women are in power. Anyone under age 50 is treated like a clueless child with nothing to offer. A lot of the products don't even work well. It's incredibly hierarchical, which makes it nearly impossible to get things done. Opportunities for creativity/new ideas are nonexistent. The CEO openly says it is not a democracy - what he thinks is law.
