Pros

- Great pay. Even the summer interns make more annually than most starting engineers in the Valley. - Good food in the cafeteria. Very expensive and high quality but very cheap (2-9 dollars). - Awesome HR staff. - Beer bashes! - Great benefit plan. - Paid time off for volunteer work.

Cons

- Antiquated equipment. Some of the laptops they give out are T40-T42 series, which aren't exactly the best machines to develop on. - Beer bashes are something like monthly now. - Public still doesn't know enough about NetApp. It may be one of the best companies to work for, but having to explain who you work for to non-techies is annoying.

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
