Pros

Hybrid work arrangements, only 2 days in office required. Benefits are generally not too bad.

Cons

-Toxic culture. Management leaders frequently criticize or mock their team members in front of others during meetings openly when in disagreement. -Short term view, pull in deals forward every quarter to close in order to achieve quarterly target. -Most colleagues are unauthentic, hence while it may feel like a friendly environment to work in, it's mostly pretence.

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
