Pros

Full flexibility at work. That comes with a bit of luck though. I got to join one of the teams with most modern and cutting-edge technologies, while being equally politics free. The whole team is kind-of a family -- they support you whenever you are in need.

Cons

If you are competitive enough, you will feel bad that you are paid equal to many stupid dumb people around you who do nothing significant at their job. Heard some teams are literally waste -- work for which there is no need of hiring top college graduates but can be done by 12th pass students too(e.g. running some scripts, basic c++ etc). Heard that most other team has the main task as 'bugfixing' -- yep you got it right, most of the teams are just 'offshore maintenance centers' for NetApp US offices

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
