Pros

I am thinking about this…

Cons

Poor leadership. Frequent small layoffs that you don’t hear about. You find someone got laid off when you can’t find names as email recipients. I(n the past few years the company has been letting go of the more senior, higher salaried employees. Salary lower than industry. Oh, and politics.

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
