Pros
Weekly breakfast on Fridays, a better bonus program than I have received at other companies, recognition from executive teams for hard work, and more. Our team is incredibly diverse with a group of team members coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. Lots of room for advancement if you are willing to put in the effort. Leadership allows you to run with your ideas and will support you every step of the way. I have worked in start ups and large organizations across the silicon valley and I am absolutely thrilled to work for NETGEAR. Another great benefit is that your personal insurance (employee only) is covered by the organization as long as you complete a few simple objectives for health!
Cons
401k is pretty decent, but matching could be improved a bit. I wouldn't say that NETGEAR is the best "first job" type of place. Employees here tend to be more seasoned so expectations are higher than other places.

Pros
Good technology, company builds solid products.
Cons
Not supportive of women - was there over 2 years and not one woman on my team was promoted, meanwhile 3 men were. Business makes poor decisions - consistently doesn't make bonus (in 2017 employees didn't receive a bonus because the company didn't meet expectations). Not making bonus is a product of the executive leadership team choosing to discount products (promos) to the point where we don't make a profit instead of investing in marketing and getting new customers. The organization consistently does the same thing over and over again instead of testing and learning - they do not take risks. There is no work-life balance, I was consistently overworked with zero support my entire time at NETGEAR. Even after requesting for direct reports to assist with my workload, I was denied the support and resources I needed to do my job effectively.
