Vantaggi

Lots of history and a good track record of making technical advancements. Competitive pay.

Svantaggi

As a 20+ year old tech company, they have a lot of home grown tools that are not as modern as open source alternatives. Things like burt (a homegrown bug reporting tool) that would be better swapped for bugzilla. The language of choice for QA is perl, where most of the rest of the world moved to Python 10 years ago. And finally, in 2015 they implemented a security measure called the Dome that forces all engineers to access their engineering work via a remote desktop to a virtual machine. The whole engineering network is disconnected from the world. You can't access the web from the Dome. You can't get your mail from the dome. So, half of your work is on your laptop's interface and the other half is from this cut off environment where doing necessary things like system updates is exponentially harder than it should be.

Vantaggi

- 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

Svantaggi

- 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
