Pros

The equipment available and level of work is cutting edge (albeit not for long). Also the people are their greatest asset, nice and easy to work with.

Cons

It is tired. Innovation is no longer a corporate goal from a long term perspective. This can be seen by the fact that budgets are dropping yet they still give ludicrous dividends. Seagate is turning into a sausage machine where raw materials are put in one end and profit is spat out the other. It is riding the last technical transition and that's it, if HAMR doesn't work then it would barely last into the medium term.

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.
