Pros

Good Short term incentive bonus for being a profitable company. Many people that have worked here are very loyal to company. Many lifers all the way back to when the company was IBM

Cons

Company has been in flux since WDC bought HGST and San Disk. Cross collaboration. When I became a manager they gave no management training, so I have no skills to handle a large group.

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
