      Pros

      Seagate does offer regular performance and compensation reviews. Seagate is also a large company that can provide opportunities in several different areas and locations.

      Cons

      Seagate does not plan well and is quick to hire when times are good but does not plan for down times and therefore has frequent layoffs. Seagate also tends to contract with H1B Visa personnel that then get converted to regular full time employees and causes Seagate to have to pay significant monthly legal fees. These positions can be easily filled with local persons that do not require such legal requirements. I found that once H1B Visa persons were more likely to hire other H1B Visas.

      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.
