Pros

- Fair starting compensation - Flexible hours - Emphasize physical fitness and well-being - One of two worldwide HDD suppliers

Cons

- Little to no real guidance for new employees and entry level engineers; expect to spend 4-6 months learning on your own and searching for work until you prove your value - Poor company culture: thick office politics, problem solving frequently consists of blaming other groups and teammates instead of taking responsibility and working together - Frequent layoffs

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.
