Pros

Some top notch people still, everyone I work with on a daily basis is willing to jump in and help. Technology is good but no longer great. Focused on solving customer challenges, not just pushing kit.

Cons

Leadership is failing the folks that remain. Communicating details on changes is slow or non-existent. Over reliance on other vendors to help make our technology relevant. Not retaining the best people anymore Cutting too much muscle and missing too much fat still

Pros

Amongst the top companies in the data storage industry = company stability.

Cons

If you'd ask me a year or 2 ago, I would have given the company 5 stars. But, as with most tech companies now, they've started to follow the trend of return to office, regardless of logic. There's little to no room for exceptions and the company would rather sacrifice productivity regardless if they know the hardships for people living in metros (one way commute to the NY or SJC office can take 2 hours one way!) - that and there's no commuter benefits. You have to pay out of pocket and live in fear of not receiving your bonus if you miss the "thrive together" quarterly requirements.
