Pros

Wonderful work environment with very little "micro-managing". I love the atmosphere of having faith in employees to get the job done and to be confident in doing so. The ability to prove oneself and to have underlying - the tools to what it takes without question is a great asset to an employee's peace of mind!

Cons

Inter-departmental communication is a bit lacking.

Pros

They make the fastest storage devices, but lack the AI software stack, which is critical when competing with the likes of Vast Data. Many nice people at the company, but outside the Sales Org

Cons

Where to start: total lack of training. Everything is via video recordings. Onboarding was shockingly broken. I realized very quickly after joining that there is massive turnover in sales, with many of my predecessors leaving for Vast Data, who is the undisputed leader in the category. A few sales reps do really well, covering franchise accounts. But be careful joining DDN to cover new accounts. The brand recognition is non-existent. And the Sales Leadership only knows finger-pointing. They will pester you for meetings from the first week you join. Expectations were completely unreasonable. Having strong ecosystem partners is key (especially with GSIs), and DDN didn't bother with partners since its founding in 1998.
