Pros

Had a long work from home, which is ended now. So no reason to stay.

Cons

The salary hikes have been unsatisfactory. Last year, instead of providing a salary increase, management stated that since our competitors were offering lower salaries, we would do the same. This decision was further justified by referencing a negative performance review, although no details of the review were provided. Work assignments are not clearly defined, and there is an overwhelming workload on weekends without any compensatory time off. The year-end bonus has consistently been lower compared to industry standards, and management appears unwilling to adjust this to align with market competitors. Most notably, as part of a recent cost-cutting measure, all QA staff were converted to Development roles, resulting in demotions. For example, an MTS4 QA was reclassified as an MTS3 Developer. Overall, there is a noticeable lack of concern for employee well-being, with decisions often made solely in the interest of business priorities.

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
