Weekly breakfast on Fridays, a better bonus program than I have received at other companies, recognition from executive teams for hard work, and more. Our team is incredibly diverse with a group of team members coming from a wide variety of backgrounds. Lots of room for advancement if you are willing to put in the effort. Leadership allows you to run with your ideas and will support you every step of the way. I have worked in start ups and large organizations across the silicon valley and I am absolutely thrilled to work for NETGEAR. Another great benefit is that your personal insurance (employee only) is covered by the organization as long as you complete a few simple objectives for health!

401k is pretty decent, but matching could be improved a bit. I wouldn't say that NETGEAR is the best "first job" type of place. Employees here tend to be more seasoned so expectations are higher than other places.
