Pros

Its a legacy company. Had been in the market for 30 plus years. Steve Luczo is great guy, he was the one who brought back the company from rags to the situation it is now. Relatively stable employment. Fair benefits. Fair employee care. The core business of company has lost its competitve edge. All these years it had been surviving with minimal profit margin. But now that SSD price are declining, Seagate is in hot soup. It is franctically buying other companies to keep itself afloat.

Cons

Manager is the deciding authority. Some undesirable managers who grew up the corporate ladder buttering superiors has set a system. They expect the subordinates to kiss their feet, their job will be saved, good appraisal etc. Skills, expertises are ignored and pleasing the supervisor counts when deployed under these managers. In general people have become complacent over the years, they are not agile or agressive and hence loosing business to its major competitor and solid storage devices market. Steve Luczo is great guy, he was the one who brought back the company from rags to the situation it is now. But that does not mean company employees are of good standard. Singapore division is way to bad and the senior management in Singapore try to keep their jobs and seat by doing plenty of politics.

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.
