      Pros

      - Top notch gym - Work life balance cannot be beat - Relatively few unnecessary meetings - Training classes available - 401k match and ESPP

      Cons

      - Compensation (20-30% lower than other similar companies) - No free food/snacks/drinks - No personal growth due to using outdated technologies and tools (especially for bug tracking) - Opportunity to write code as a developer is minimal due to large maintenance on aging codebase - Little to no exposure with middle and senior management - Upward movement is based on seniority rather than performance - Many under-qualified employees (people who are settled down in life with kids, etc. and not interested in what NetApp does)

      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
