Pros

You get to work with mostly interesting and motivated people.

Cons

Job status is unreliable and independent of performance: frequent restructures lead to hard-to-explain redundancies, with some top performers being laid off and customer-facing reps left to handle the backlash of these managerial decisions. Little effort is made to preserve employees' work-life balance: most people at NetApp state that they are overworked.

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
