Pros

Work life balance, relaxed and nice people at junior and mid levels.

Cons

Constantly fire leaders and Hire clueless leaders from outside who fire and eliminate experienced people at their whim. New leaders who have no idea come in - many of whom do not seem to deserve their positions. They come in and start firing experienced folks internally to bring their cronies from outside. Experienced and accomplished employees are not valued. Benefits like PTO are getting stripped away. Can see the culture of this company going down the dump.

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.

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
