Pros

*Excellent salary *Paid training *Hands on experience in the field *High profile customers *Some of the leading technology in the industry

Cons

*The worst job security in the country(layoffs every 6 months over the course of the 4 years I spent there) *Gives micromanagement a whole new meaning *Office politics *Shark tank environment where management backstabs their peers *Beer in the fridge encourages a lackluster Friday, where half the employees leave after lunch *Little room for advancement once certified

Pros

NetApp is a prestigious company, working for this company will be a great resume boost if you cannot break into top fortune 500 companies. Relatively easy to get into NetApp. Competitive pay.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Understaffed which could equate to higher expected output.

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
