Pros

Flexible Timings Compensation/ESOPS/RSU Competent Peers Good Technology - Branding - Netapp brand is a huge value add to one's profile. Beer Bash

Cons

Tons of process,reviews. Legacy monolithic system. Work is hampered by process,dependancies between teams. Sadly,everything is evaluated by the count of the burts solved. High level of Micromanagement prevails, The work totally depends on the team. Some teams have fabulous work and the workload is quite steep. Quite a disbalance in terms of workload between teams No transport - Go green and connect to work in public tansport . Work from home depends on the team. The culuture is very similar to other product companies. Strange that they get the "great place to work".

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
