Pros

NetApp is a successful company with a lot of interesting technology. Engineers with the right skills and temperament have good opportunities to influence direction and produce innovations that make a difference to the company's business.

Cons

NetApp is very inward looking. The system can be bewildering in its complexity; many newcomers have trouble mapping their past experience. The company is best at evolutionary baby steps, and often has a hard time getting new initiatives going. Many people would say that the environment is chaotic.

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
