Pros

They seem to know what they are doing on Hard drives, but everything else is bad. Cares enough about the employees going by the layoff packages.

Cons

Old style for tech company. Insular management. Very few decision makers all concentrated at the top and they do not have much experience in the businesses they are expanding into.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
