Pros

Some co-workers are nice. Besides that, I cannot find any pros.

Cons

-package is not competitive - not diversity - very political,especially in the WAFL and Data Protection Group, managers don't care the product and their people, they only care how to look better in his/her boss's eyes and how to move up - most of the managers are not fair, those who have good personal relationship with the managers no need to work and get promoted easily - culture favors the person who can talk well, not the person who can work well but not good at talk

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
