Future doesn't look bright - Senior Engineer Seagate Technology Employee Review

Pros

I will echo the opinion that most people here seem to share while I was there: Talented and friendly engineering colleagues, low level management, and technologists/geniuses that the company had been somehow able to retain. Good stock purchase program. Recognized and rewarded hard work when able. Provided capabilities to move within the company.

Cons

Mid and above level management. No training was provided and it showed. Incompetency and greed is cemented in the company structure. Harsh layoffs. Frequent and souless. Staggered deliveries successfully kept Seagate off the national news headlines but constantly loom behind the better knowing minds of the employees. No clear direction. Some company initiatives were akin to asking lead engineers to throw darts at a word cloud for ideas. (This may be irrelevant following the layoffs if they consolidate and stick to what they were good at.)

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.
