Pros

This is a very forward thinking company. Senior management has good communication and keep all the employees well informed. Their new hire orientation is the best i've every seen in my 20 year career. The senior management is very straightforward and honest in their messaging.

Cons

Not so good if you are in hardware as they OEM HW. Now if you are looking for a job in HW where you want to cruise then it may be the perfect job for you. Also, the stock has not done so well recently. But, hopefully thats only temporary due to the economy in general.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

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
