Pros

Lot of scope to go in depth in technology Lot of forums to learn and share knowledge Twice a year shutdown provides great vacation time and allows to refresh mind body and soul lot of email groups for everything to discuss with all employees :) No need to setup lab. have a dedicated team for that. Dedicated WPR team which takes care of fun activities across the site every quarter like games, dance, fashion show etc free snacks, beer bash and lot of options in cafe

Cons

Frequent re-org's and layoff's off late. no certainty on job Hardly any travel opportunities for IC's and cost cutting on travel, team building activities delayed hikes and not so great hikes growth as in promotions are very slow

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
