Good company to work for, uncertainty regarding long term potential - Firmware Engineer II Seagate Technology Employee Review

Pros

Great company to work for, good benefits, nice people to work with, good life work balance

Cons

Uncertainty surrounding growth in HDD business, salary freezes for foreseeable future, not enough investment in certain areas in flash memory storage development (in my opinion), not a lot of opportunities for growth and promotion, and short term reactionary moves made to placate investors and shareholders at the expense of long term potential, just like most public companies (why hire hundreds of new employees only to institute 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.
