Pros

Work/life balance Tolerable amounts of internal politics Popular with customers and partners

Cons

Distracted by internal visions, NetApp has lost its way in the market. New ex-Cisco managers are creating a Powerpoint-driven culture that emphasizes flash over substance

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
