Pros

NetApp is my first employer, I joined NetApp two years ago as an system engineer trainee, my manager and mentor had taught me without reservation. In my opinion , netapp has its own culture which may influence everybody working here, at least the technical staff here. Many training opp if you apply , and sometime work pressure is great, but most time you can learn something you want or do something you like, just as what I am doing.

Cons

It's hard for local Chinese to be promoted to a high level, I mean staff from mainland, and sometimes practical individual staff is tough, if unfortunately it's leader or manager , It will be some unhappy experience in your career

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
