Pros

Great Benefits, Open door policy! If you are smart you will be recognized, not necessarily promoted, but recognized.

Cons

Some of the senior management are clueless about the current trends in the storage industry. The company has great products from a previous generation of smart people, but are now not innovating from the front, and reflects because newer management lacks vision in certain domains

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
