Pros

As a whole great company, still lots of great people, great atmosphere to learn from great customers, good benefits, good work environment.

Cons

internal people to leaving and external people as the main source of staffing has created loss of culture. Company is stuck doing thing the way they have been for 3,5,10+ years. There is a "my way or the highway" mentality. Failed to get the jump on almost every major trend in the industry for the last 3-5 years despite the company having all the technology and tools to be first to market. red tape internally its absolutely staggering.

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.
