Pros

Great pay and benefits Much talked about culture - can do attitudes and very helpful co-workers Knowledgeable senior leadership Great communication from senior executives via all hands meetings and initial new hire orientations

Cons

Not all management is aligned with valued culture - sometimes just words and not demonstrated in actions Incentive compensation sometimes challenging around fiscal year end (receipt not always assured) Poor experience with integration of acquired companies and intellectual property Lack of career path opportunities from a management perspective (100% left up to employee to drive) Multiple corporate layoffs in the last 12 months

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.
