      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.

      Pros

      There WERE great people who worked there. But wow, they are dropping like flies. “Unlimited” PTO

      Cons

      Benefits are weak, pay is way below industry for engineers. Leadership is literally ripping out entire departments from the top down.A VP is fired, the new person starts, the new person fires the entire team and replaces it with their own people. A person will be let go and days later the replacement will start. It has impacted so many departments and isn’t stopping any time soon. I’ve already seen it happen in Product/engineering, Finance, HR, Recruiting and other outlying departments. Most people I’m aware of are actively looking because they know the goal is to basically rebuild the company with all new people. It’s chaotic, it’s toxic, RUN!
