Pros

Cutting edge technology, wonderful work life balance. Senior management is always within reach and keeps in touch with the employees with the all hands.

Cons

Poor middle management. No innovation of late and strategy is to consolidate rather than invest in new avenues. Needs focus on quality of the products and customer satisfaction.

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
