Pros

Very aggressive company. A lot of talented people to work with. Competitive compensation and benefits. Good working environment and reasonable working hours.

Cons

Declining TAM(total available market). As a traditional hard drive company, profit margin is not as big as those new software companies. A lot of approval while spending money. Slow pace in carrying out new technology.

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
