Pros

Great talent, good people, competitive compensation and benefits. When the subject of conversation is what we're working on and how we're doing our jobs, people are motivated and creative. Unfortunately, the company no longer values those qualities.

Cons

Morale is poor and the future is shaky. Everyone has to watch their back. Do not recommend to new hires. Employees cannot trust anyone in upper management. CEO uses silly words like "transformation" what he means is major layoffs and outsourcing to India. No innovation anymore, just working and reworking of old technology.

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

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
