Pros

There are a lot of great people at NetApp and the culture has long been a strong asset. Their benefits are fair and in Sunnyvale, they offer cool perks, such as an excellent gym, with exercise classes, regular running events (the NetApp 5K), massages, and personal trainers. You have to pay for the massages and personal trainers, but they are on-site, which is nice!

Cons

They have run out of steam. While others have innovated, NetApp has floundered. I work for a competitor now, and wish both could do well, but unfortunately that's not likely. Many people I know from NetApp are sick and tired of years of lay-offs. So many people have been let go, or have left to seek better employment elsewhere.

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
