Pros

No pros to joining Seagate now. If you are employed by Seagate, enjoy the ride.

Cons

Top mgmt decisions of the last 5 years have crippled the company. Mergers/acquisitions haven't panned out resulting in a losses. Mgmt extremely focused on manipulating the stock price via share buyback, dividends and cost cutting to the detriment of creating products to sell. Yearly layoffs for the past decade. (Sometimes multiple times a year.) Lack of employee training has resulted in stagnate wages and knowledge.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
