Scary place to work

Pros

Free coffee and sodas. Espresso machine in lunch room great. B-ball hoops in parking lot helps for burning off stress. Decent pay, although bonus program keeps shrinking. Good location in center of valley, easy access to freeways, etc.

Cons

People are hired into upper management with no product development, sales or marketing experience, and no idea how to treat engineers. Management is verbally abusive to engineers and many are now seeking new jobs so headhunters are calling here first. If you want a product marketing job flirt with management and you'll be hired here - no experience necessary. Others with experience or internal candidates won't even get interviewed. The company management preaches ethics but it seems rules don't apply to them.

Pros

Great exposure and tight knit friendly culture. The expectation is that you will take ownership of your work and therefore managers don't micro manage. Fair pay and exciting new product line in Arlo.

Cons

No free lunches like at Yahoo or Taylor Swift appearances at company parties...wait, is that really such a bad thing?

Pros

The pay is good. There are a lot of new technologies being explored, and a lot of new products being introduced.

Cons

You have no family life. Since Netgear is a global company, they expect you to be available to answer questions all time of the day and night.
