Pros

Some teams might be good to work in depending on the product & team.

Cons

Layoff every year from past 3-4 years. Declining revenue. Lot of politics and frequent re-orgs. Unless you are part of a clique, you won't get very far. I don't know how they manage to be on the great places to work list.

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
