Pros

NetApp used to be a great company with fantastic opportunity, benefits and great technology. Note to potential new employees - The RIF support process is top notch.

Cons

Reorganization of the company has taken it from #4 to last on Fortune 400 companies to work for. Why would management eliminate OEM E-Series business without at least considering applying internal Sales as an augmentation? RIFs are/will be continuous and HR does not support existing RIF'ed employees find internal jobs. Very sad.

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
