Pros

Overall good benefits and intelligent people to work with. Executive team is top-notch and extremely focused - which is great for bonuses, stock and long term growth.

Cons

Middle management from VPs down is very passive-aggressive creating a fearful, caustic environment. Major disappointment when the execs are candid and open. Great company, great potential. Yet it has become just a another company to work for insted of a Great Place to Work. Too bad, what a waste.

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
