      Pros

      Decent benefits and working hours

      Cons

      Too many chiefs and not enough indians. Definitely top heavy. Too many managers just go to the meetings and delegate as well as too much internal politics and too busy covering up their rears.. Definitely not what it used to be...

      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
