Pros

Excellent workplace with good benefits (till the time you're in)

Cons

Job Security: Inconsistent; hiring and firing dynamics create uncertainty. They follow the principle of 'hire today & fire tomorrow'. I saw many such lives suffer. Roadmap: Lack of clear project roadmaps poses challenges. Management: Unfortunately, management falls short of expectations. Technology: Significantly lags behind current industry standards. Competitors: Minimal competition due to non-alignment with market needs. Product Development: Overreliance on HDDs, slow delivery of new products, and discontinuation of promising projects due to budget constraints are prevalent issues. Future Outlook: The management seems disconnected from a forward-looking strategy. Regrettably, Seagate has lost the brilliance and vibrancy it once possessed.

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.
