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.
