Pros

- Good team environment - Opportunities to travel (depends highly on department/position however) - Good work/life balance Overall, a good place to gain good work experience, but probably not a good long-term choice of employer, especially because of the rapid decline of the hard disk industry

Cons

- Some reluctance to accept change - Management can be inconsistent - Industry is on a decline making the future highly unpredictable - Slow promotions and poor AWS, pay adjustments (sometimes even frozen when financial climate is bad) - Much of the technology is just "ported over" from USA... there is definitely an "us" and "them" mentality, and a 'god' complex towards USA sites

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.
