Pros

The only good thing about NetApp is its CEO. The people below him however are mostly very biased individuals who are only interested in building their own kingdoms and using the company as a stepping stone to something better. All of the greatest leaders at NetApp have long since left the company. Most in frustration and dissatisfaction for not being able to affect the real change that is sorely needed.

Cons

None of what they talk about is true when you're in the trenches.

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
