Pros

Actively pursuing new technologies. Great place to get beginning experience in the corporate world. Good benefits and competitive salaries.

Cons

Upper management seems to lack direction. Middle management is lost and unsure how to manage engineers. Most middle managers lack any real technical knowledge. There is little to no opportunity to grow here because it is already too fat at the top.

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
