Pros

Rock solid business. Very strong top management. No brash decisions. Its non-back-stabbing culture. Leader in thought leadership in storage technologies, though being challenged by startups, off late. Aligns very nicely and quickly during challenging times. Inherent culture of trust.

Cons

Weak middle management. Slow in reacting. Does not take hard decisions.

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
