Pros

NetApp has a pretty great culture overall. They still have a beer bash every friday, bagels friday morning, fruit on wednesday, etc. The benefits are still very good. Upper management communicates often with everyone on the direction of the company and they are generally very frank with their assessments as well. The work itself is generally interesting and they rarely require anything beyond 40 or 45 hours a week.

Cons

The morale of the teams has generally declined a bit over the last few years as some of the better experienced employees have quit while most hiring has been confined to college graduates with no experience.

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
