Good freedom for learning and self direction but dismal company future - Sr. Engineer Seagate Technology Employee Review

Pros

Kept on a very long leash, a lot of room for self directed working, and a lot of opportunity to learn. Generally friendly relaxed working atmosphere.

Cons

Company is plagued with financial problems, chronic redundancies, and a very uncertain future. Management is short sighted and fluctuates between completely absent, and frantic micromanaging. Poor retension of experienced staff makes it very difficult to drive meaningful success in projects. Progress and pay is poor in comparison to similar companies over the border. If you arent from Derry you will probably find the area dull and very insular (Me and my wife are from only a 2 hour drive away but locals act like we're from mars)

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.
