Pros

Competitive salaries, good people to work with. Lots of good talent. Plenty to learn about storage. Working on latest hybrid drives.

Cons

NO chance for promotion above senior engineer. Promoted too many people too fast many years ago, now promotions are rarely, if ever, handed out.

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.
