Pros

• Competitive salary • Pretty good work-life balance

Cons

• Constant re-structurings - employees shoulder the burden for mistakes made by the Executive Management Team; the 'let's see what sticks' approach is very disruptive • Dog-eat-dog environment; management seems to pit people against one another • HR is useless if an employee needs help with a negative work environment • Lack of respect for marketing employees and programs

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
