      Pros

      Not many that I can really remember.

      Cons

      * C level suite and Owners do what is right for them not what is right for the company or the people working at DDN. They get their bonuses and whatever is left is given out to employee's which is not a lot. 1 of the owner is extremely into micro-managing all the way down into the trenches that it has become a joke among employee's. * My team really did not want improve and when guided to improve ignored request. When tried to perform corrective action was blocked by Sr. Management and HR. HR even coddled them when they felt hurt that they had been asked to do work properly. It was a total joke. * HR sticks it nose into areas that traditional HR doesn't belong. They definitely operate by favoritism. They got rid of experience HR people and kept their favorites who have very little HR experience. * HR has asked employees to give favorable glass door feedback because they saw how bad things were.

      Abusive relationship. Employees try so hard, there are hints of progress, but the bull eventually kills all energies

      Pros

      Smart, innovative and hard working people. I met some great people and friends. Even followed them when things fell apart. DDN can be a nice, small boutique vendor, but not much more.

      Cons

      They had a window of opportunity to be leaders and mucked it up. Once in a Lifetime has passed. You missed it. Make a plan and STICK to it!

      Pros

      Very good technology. They are strong systems integrators for HPC applications and parallel file systems.

      Cons

      Sales have stalled. The HPC market, which is so dependent on government funding is declining. The companies ability to penetrate more profitable, commercial markets has been unsuccessful. Rampant turnover leads to poor morale and declining customer satisfaction.
