Pros

They seem to have resurrected the business plan they're doing okay in a very competitive space. The only thing that matters is the bottom line. Great cafe good healthy food.

Cons

No RSUs offered unless your a Sr. level management, benefits are run of the mill. The company culture is, well, pardon the term it's a senior citizen center. Diversity is not well balanced including too many contractors. Weekly one on ones are ridiculous, which include systemic micro management. Did I mention culture is in need of improvement. Some management are not subject matter experts.

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
