Pros

I have a great team, with a lot of experience. In my group retention is amazing. I am given a lot of opportunity to make my own decisions and execute for my stakeholders.

Cons

While relatively a large company, NetApp is not a large company in the IT space. I’m not convinced it’s a place you can advance easily. In my time at NetApp, the company leadership has made some poor strategic decisions that caused our competitors to take advantage. The same leadership team is still in charge with another strategy shift which is still TBD in its effectiveness

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
