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