Pros

Management, Peers, and Sales team were good people to work with. Work life balance was never an issue. Products and technology is solid.

Cons

Upper management was disconnected and almost unaware of what was going on in the trenches. Decisions were made, often, that were not logical. Middle management was not included in key decisions that directly affected the team. Customers wold often get upset with the frequent changes in staff. Perception was that the company was unstable. Frequent changes in the portfolio made it difficult to instill confidence in the customer base.

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.
