Pros

Was a comfortable place to work. Camaraderie was great, people worked together. Good perks and benefits.

Cons

I started in 2014 by which time 2 major layoffs had already happened. Sign of things to come. Too many Chefs in the kitchen and too many tools/products that should have been rolled together long ago. NetApp was too enamored with their flagship, DataONTAP 7-mode for too long. Too many middle and upper management having too many meetings to justify their jobs. Now they are going from 1 layoff/year to 2. Stay away till things stabilize, they are bought or they simply sink into the black hole of penny stocks.

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
