Pros

Decent salaries, industry standard benefits. Good and knowledgable co-workers. Storage is a good industry to be in.

Cons

There is a good amount of non-performers in every level(engineers to vp/svp). May be about 30-40 percent. Good engineers/managers pay for it ( in terms of no raises, no rsu etc. You will be surprised to see how long people who are not productive are stuck to. It will take some non trivial effort to make the company go in the right direction.

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
