Pros

This is a small site (Pittsburgh) within the company. Great work culture compared to other larger sites. You have to put in a lot of work to get recognized and move up the ladder. Good work is definitely recognized. The engineers will have the option to stay on the technical side as they grow up the ladder.

Cons

A lot of process hampers engineering efforts, especially around QA. A lot of engineers working on one product slows things down (especially around code line management).

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.
