Pros

Collaborative Culture, Candor is evident everywhere which leads to Getting Things Done. Values Employees and helps them get to where they want to go (lots of examples in Central Area). Great technology to bring to our customers to help solve problems.

Cons

Sometimes reacts too conservatively to address growth goals, however hiring ahead of the curve now is a GREAT thing and perhaps a change in philosophy here.

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
