Pros

Excellent benefits Great culture even after layoffs and downturns there's no question those of us who remain are treated well. Exciting leadership with Dave Hitz, Dave Wright from SolidFire and George Kurian. All blatantly honest, visionaries.

Cons

Crowded shrinking technology space, with the rise of cloud the Enterprise IT market is shrinking, but the number of competitors in the market keeps growing. Big company makes pivots in focus painful and difficult, puts us at risk of not being able to shift fast enough with the rest of the market.

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.
