Pros

Good work culture, good work life balance. Good productivity tools makes the job of engineer easier. Good facilities like free snacs, juice, soft drinks and beer bash. Good salary, bonus and hikes.

Cons

Bad execution strategy, not so quick to react to market requirements. Many layoffs happened in last 3 years, sometimes even twice a year. Many good employees were laid off.

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.
