Pros

Reasonable salaries. No explosive growth ( means no explosive contractions ). Effort is made to communicate to employees, though poorly.

Cons

Poor translation of company goals down to the employees. Poor 401k matching Worthless stock options Management still using 1980 and 1990's models for performance and goal setting ( antique )

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
