Pros

For the first several years, it was great. Great culture, amazing people, high morale. I was proud to work here and recommended anyone who wanted to join.

Cons

In the past 1 1/2 years, the company has gone downhill. Executive decisions are way off the mark. They flip flop in their go to market strategy and the leaders they are bringing on these days are really destroying the amazing culture it used to have.

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
