Pros

Products and portfolio are strong and competitive with the rest of the industry There are good people who care and that can make a difference Truly different portfolio than others

Cons

Lack of marketing (Hire someone from Pure) Lack of accountability (Inspect the bottom 10% of the reps) Way too many managers - DM's, RD's, Regional VP's - what are they doing all day? Promote mediocrity when good people leave

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
