Pros

Seagate is the largest manufacturer of hard discs. If you would like to be involved in developing cutting edge technology seagate is a good place to work for. One of the few companies where there is still significant investment in Research and Development areas. Best talent pool.

Cons

Highly stressful and competitive environment. Heavily layered. Too many management levels. No work life balance. No coordination between different organizations. Redundency at all levels. Promotion of self agendas rather than a common vision.

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.
